I bought this gizmoe at hardware store a few years ago for roasting or barbequing chicken. Its is a metal tube 1 1/2" diameter 7 or 8" long attached to a base. the top half has small holes around the outside and there is a removable cap. You can place liquid and seasoning inside. The bird is supported upright through the cavity. the device is placed directly on the barbeque then the lid closed. In the oven a pan should be placed under the bird should be cooked very hot 400-425 F No matter how brown and crisp the outside of the bird becomes the inside is very very moist.
