I decided to give this a try this weekend.

I bought a new unused paint can, punched some holes in the bottom and around the lower part of the sides. Punched a few holes along the top and strung some baling wire though to hang the can from. put in exactly 15 charcoal briquets, lit them and waited for them to turn white. Then I placed the seasoned,foil wrapped chicken into the top of the can wings down.

3 hours later.......threw away a raw chicken.

I don't know if I'd cook in a paint can, that may not be safe

When I saw the title I immediately thought of of the chicken in a can inside the gelatinous goo that is posted every once and a while.

I tried this a few weeks ago and it came out great. i didn't use a paint can though, I used one of those big green bean cans. Thats what the guy was using in the pictures he posted.

i wonder if your size chicken was diff than whoever came up with the '15 pc charcoal' recipe)........also you punched holes everywhere, but maybe they should be bigger or more prevalent to make sure your coals put out the maximum heat and dont go out quickly. might have to do some fanning/etc to keep the airflow during the cooking..and add coal during process or include some 'black' ones with your 'white' hot ones at beginning to keep a continual flow of heat for that length of time
