- 03 Half fill the GBS Poultry roaster cup with the porter beer.
- 04 Firmly sit chicken onto the GBS poultry roaster cup making sure the chicken is stable and upright.
- 01 Prepare the Smoky Mountain Cooker for indirect heat, approx. 125°C. If using a charcoal barbecue, you need ½ chimney starter of lit briquettes.
