The vertical roaster for chicken crisp outside and juicy inside: the bird cooks standing up, fat drains away and heat circulates through the cavity. Like classic beer-can chicken, but stable and tip-proof.
Vertical roasting is the best way to do a whole chicken in a kamado: fat drains instead of frying the skin, the dome's convection heat envelops the bird entirely and the cavity cooks from the inside. Versus the beer-can trick, this Weber rack is stable and won't tip when you move the grate. Some versions include a reservoir for aromatic liquid. It fits any kamado with the height.
Stable vertical roasting: skin crisp on all four sides, juicy meat and fat that drains. The serious take on beer-can chicken.

Who it's for

FAQ
Why roast the chicken upright on a throne?
Roasting the chicken upright (beer-can style) lets fat drain and hot air circulate over all the skin, so it stays crisp outside and juicy inside. The Weber Style throne stabilizes the bird so it does not topple inside the kamado. Many holders include a reservoir for beer, stock or wine that flavours from within.
Does an upright chicken fit with the kamado lid shut?
On a Classic/Large kamado usually yes, but measure the interior height with the grate in the raised position first, because a large chicken on the throne adds quite a bit of height. On small kamados like the Joe Jr it may not close. If the lid grazes, lower the grate or use a smaller bird.
How do I know when the chicken is done?
Golden skin is deceptive, so the only reliable way is internal temperature in the thickest part of the thigh. A wireless probe like the MEATER+ alerts you without opening the lid and losing kamado heat. For several birds at once, the MEATER Pro 2 Plus or a multi-probe covers more pieces.
