Review of Mr Bar B Q 06115X Non-Stick Self-Basting Chicken Roaster

Customer Ratings:

I'll keep it brief. The wide base makes it much more stable than some roasters. The beer can holder can of course be used for anything wet or dry to flavor your chicken. The vented base is big enough to hold a lot of whatever you decide to put in it. And last, it's pretty sturdy. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that I wish the metal were just a little heavie gauge.

My husband asked me that question once, so I didn't buy it.

Then after we had to replace parts of half the grill after an unstable beer can supported chicken toppled over and dumped all the grease from the can into the grill, setting the entire thing, including the propane line which melted the tank valve, on fire, he said "why didn't we just buy a beer can chicken holder?"

Good grief. Save yourself the possible headache (and the near-property damage), and just use this. Heck, it's cheaper to just buy this than it will cost us to replace the now-empty fire extinguisher.

I want to give the verticle roaster more stars, because it's good, but it has one flaw the maker should fix. The roaster comes in two pieces, the base great for roasting veggies and a cone that the chichen sits on. The problem is that the cone is too big. I tried it with a rather largish chicken and the cone made the chichen stand up so high, it touched the lid of my barbeque grill. I'll try it with a smaller chichen, although the chichen may not fit on the cone. It was hard enough getting the larger chichen to fit.

It would be better if the cone was either shorter or narrower or both. I think it should also have holes in the cone, so the steam from the beer or other liquid used would enter through the sides of the cone as well as the top.

Honest reviews on Mr Bar B Q 06115X Non-Stick Self-Basting Chicken Roaster

I have prepared coke can chicken many times before, always using a beer or coke can and sometimes had difficulty getting the bird to sit on the grill correctly. Always tasty but either doesn't sit right or the can collapses when you set it up, and you always get very messy bringing it out and setting it on the grill after applying the rub. With this cooker, you don't have to handle the bird once it's in place and the rub is on...take the handles and out to the grill.

One thing though...perhaps due to more metal in contact and around the chicken, it gets done quicker. I'm going to go 15 minutes less for a 5 pound bird next time I use it. Excellent product.

this vertical roaster is a very good value. couldn't find another one like it without paying another 50% in price. It just fits in my smoker so that I was able to smoke a chicken. The center can fits less than a can of beer so you do have to drink part of the can, lol! Plenty of holes to allow the smoke and heat to rise through properly.
