My husband looked at this in Wal-Mart and thought the lid to grill grate was very shallow. Is there enough room to cook a whole chicken upright?

Hello Ms Deavers, There is plenty of space for a whole chicken to grill on a WEBER. Case in point---I also cook whole turkeys up to 19 pounds with NO problem. Be sure that you are looking at the full size brand name WEBER, as there are other grills out there that are too shallow to do this kind of grilling. Hope this helps and success with your new Weber.

Yes, you can definitely do beer can chicken (I don't know how many of those we've done on our 22" Weber, but it's a lot!) As some others have answered, you can also do large turkeys (laying down) as well as large butt sections of hams.

I don't know the measurements, but is say yes. If I had to guess, I'd say it's at least 12". Walmart always has products that are specific to them made by the manufacturer. I purchased trough amazon and can tell you that I love it. I use it at least twice per week, sometimes 4 :) Take care.

The quick answer would be no .. this is a 3 qt item which would be way too small. The All-Clad Stainless Professional Universal Steamer Insert is closer to what you need, but even then for a 6 pound-er you may have to cut up the chicken somewhat. A 6 lb chicken is a hefty bird and the lid must fit tightly on top for steaming to occur.

It's not big enough for a whole chicken but if you have pieces of chicken, yes.

The gap between the charcoal grate and the cooking grate is just over 2.5". If you are looking to cook over indirect heat, you might be able to squeeze an 8" x8" shallow cake pan in there, but you may be better off using HD aluminum foil and making your own basket to catch your drippings. There is little to no room above the layer of charcoal to lay a pan to catch drippings. Of course, you can just line the entire bottom of the grill with foil to provide easy cleanup.

The top is domed so I would say "yes" to your question, as long as it wasn't a humongous bird. I've only grilled "flat food" on it.

Pretty shallow. I would not fry bacon in it unless you only made a few at a time. The grease will need to be emptied quite a bit.

Just under 3 inches under the grate. It's best for raising food just above the grill. You could slide burgers underneath, but would need to pull them out to flip.

No you can't use the grill inside.To much smoke when cooking will cause your smoke alarm to ring. The weight limit varies. The manuel states 2 whole 1/2-3 lbs.,turkey whole 8-12 lbs. I don't know I have tried 1 whole chicken. I found when it's too much weigth the rotisserie drops. I might have done something wrong. I hope this helps.

While I haven't tried it, I think the legs are too short. Though, you could probably stack bricks or similar under the four legs to increase the height. If you use a cast iron wood carrier in the fireplace to make sure the flaming logs have air underneath the challenge might be a little greater. The grate itself is cast iron, but since the grate bars are triangular, like a Toblerone chocolate, I imagine the flame will hit a larger surface area of the meat. Not sure it would work well. It might but I don't know. My gut tells me that this grill is best used over a bed of coals.

not very well. The heat source is too far from the grate to get any kind of sear. If you were just slow cooking something, you could but I wouldn't do burgers or hot dogs on it.

I regularly place my Grill2Go on a plastic crate that I carry the grill in when traveling in my RV travel trailer... with no problems. The legs do not appear to heat up significantly. Overally an excellent grill... cooks meat & fish really nicely!!! One of the best grills I have ever owned... very satisfied!!!

I don't think so, at least not in the ordinary sense. The bottom grill in mine has raised ridges running 'down' to the front to drip out the grease. the upper has ridges as well, except they're kind of a 'herringbone' pattern. if you tried to bake a hotcake on the Foreman, it would look more like a waffle if you had the top down. I guess the answer is, Not unless you can buy one with a flat plate, it is a great meat cooker, but don't know how it'd be as a griddle. rg

We have a 28" round weber. It fits great. You really only need about a 12-14" circle. The height with chicken on is about 10", maybe a little more if it's a big chicken. We love this thing. It really does a nice job and the meat is so tender.

Definitely! We actually have 2 of these grills. One at our home and one at our cabin. This grill gets used much more than our gas or charcoal grills. In addition - we had company a week or so ago and they thought I was crazy to use this grill for BBQ Chicken - then they raved about how it turned out on that grill and asked me where I got it. Kim S

My guess is the opening is about 8"x10". You could probably fit a small grill on top- like if you wire it to the mesh, but it wouldn't be ideal.

Yes- the way the grates are positioned on the grill there is an air space around the perimeter. I pre-heat the grill on medium and cook on low, otherwise the grill gets too hot.

It definitely is not high enough to cook with. Its not anything like a barstool. I'd estimate is maximum height is less than 3 feet.
