I don't eat chicken and I don't like beer, but sounds nice though

Do you just put the chicken in the beer can and then to bbq?
What kind of hot tub do you have? Warmed with wood stove or with electricity? We don't have big enough yard to place a hot tub, but we have sauna

You do the opposite, open the can and jam it inside the chicken. You want to make the chicken stand on it's end, so the open end of the can is pointed up, that way the heat makes the beer seep out into the chicken. It's actually very good.

well i don't own one (live in a building) but my friend does @ his parents house, i am 100% sure it is electric or natural gas heated. but i would love to try one of those large metal (almost animal feeding troft)
kinda like this

heated by wood. would be a cool weekend project. and should fit in almost any yard

^^^ you suck

meh i couldn't live anyone that doesn't have 4 seasons, i love to see/feel change, and winter is prob my fav. time of the year.
outdoor hockey, street fights with budies and alot of tossing people around in the snow (the pest part about winter), building a snowman, and of course spelling your name out in the snow with piss

something you can't do

The weather never gets cold enough here to have a decent winter barbecue. We don't really even have a "proper" winter.

Have fun!

Dude, beer up the but chicken is soo good. The beer helps keep the chicken moist and adds a bit of flavor. Mmmmm so good.

Beer can chicken - I must try it someday - sounds cool. And the funny thing is I hate beer but I like beer soaked weiners

I like to barbecue in the winter more than the summer - the heat from the barbie is actually welcome. Of course Houston gets to about 2-3C in Jan/Feb so not as cold as you Northerners

ViperASR · 10-30-2006, 12:11 AM

Ugh, I hate the cold. It is getting "cold" here in Florida, and by "cold" I mean like low 70s :roll:

beer can chicken, never heard of it, sound cool!

I'm desperately waiting for winter too

There's not snow yet in the mountains? We had the first snow maybe a week ago and then the "second" snow last weekend with a quite nice storm. I'm sure it will melt away again, but I already changed to winter tires. And that reminds me that I should by a new set of winter tires.

No, I checked the webcams of St.Moritz and there is only snow at a heigth of 2800m or higher ( so the highest peaks only, which are covered the whole year more or less)

about winter tires:
I just mounted new winter tyres from Continental (ContiWinterContact TS 800), they acheaved very good test results...

stmoritzer · 10-30-2006, 10:03 AM

what exactly means "studless", my dictionarry tells me studless = winter tyre ?:bah:

do you mean spike tyres? I know many scandinavians are driving these...

I'll scan a test ( done by the swiss touring club) tommorrow, maybe they also have the Viking Contact3 in it

stmoritzer · 10-30-2006, 01:02 PM

^thanks for the explanation ...

the one I bought is a studless tire.
Since there isn't much snow/ice in Zürich area (~400m.above sealevel), nobody uses studded tires here, I think we don't have them at all -my parents in the Engadin/St.Moritz had some "spike tires" on their Subaru for a while, the "spikes" extended the surface by 1 or 2 mm only and we call them "spikes" - as you said very noisy on asphalte and the speed limit is 80km/h.

Reminds me of that James Bond Movie The Living Daylights this, the V8 Vantage had about the same

Finally here's the articel I was talking about.
A test report about "low cost" tyres and a standard one.
