Prepare the grill for the indirect heat method. Mix the spices to form a rub and apply the rub mixture all over, and inside the chicken. Pour out half the beer, then make holes with opener on top of can, pour some of the rub mixture into the can. When the coals are hot place the wood chips onto the coals.

Set beer can in middle of grill, place chicken over the top, inserting can into the chicken's cavity, sitting upright. Place cover on the grill and smoke roast the chicken for about an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes. Serve with beer of course.
