Beer Can Chicken and veggies (with pics)

Decided to do this because it is a family favorite. I like Thomas Keller's recipe, but my family has their own favorites.
I did two different chickens, but first, I brined them.
My dog watched me - waiting for a mistake to hit the floor. Didn't happen.
Pulled 'em out and let them dry.
Chicken 1:
kosher salt 1T
sugar 1t
ground nutmeg 1/4t
ground cinnamon 1/4t
ground cloves 1/4t
olive oil drizzled over chicken
I used as much salt as the rest of the ingredients combined.
Chicken 2
fresh thyme, sage, and rosemary chopped and added to soft butter
Lemon juice
kosher salt
cracked black pepper
all to taste.
I threw them on the fire at about 350-375 degrees indirect heat - with a little smoke.
The smoke - hickory chunks.
Halfway there. I switched them right after the pick.
I prepared some veggies to grill - bell peppers, onions, and squash.
Chickens are done and resting.
Veggies are cooking.
Dinner - Chicken 1
Dinner - Chicken 2

How much of the beer actually gets cooked out of the can and into the bird?
When I've done, there was a full beer stuffed in a very moist chicken.

I do whole chickens A LOT on the grill. My favorite rub is McCormik's Montreal Chicken seasoning. I've tried near everything and it's by far my favorite.

Looks great. I like to plug the neck hole with a red tater or some tin foil. Helps keep the steam in da bird.

Nicely done, Jax. I like that you did two preparations. How was the skin on those birds? Hard to tell from the pictures but it doesn't look like it crisped up all that much.

Beer Can Chicken - Fact vs Fiction
This link crushed me. I've long been a fan of beer can chicken. Unfortunately...it's mostly a waste of time. The beer doesn't get hot enough to actually steam or impart flavor and it actually impedes cooking.
The only thing it's good for is cooking vertically so the skin gets a little crispier.
