When the wood chips begin to smoke, transfer the bird-on-a-can to the grill, balancing the bird on its two legs and the can, like a tripod. Grill over indirect medium heat, with the lid closed, until the juices run clear and the internal temperature registers 170 degrees F in the thickest part of the thigh (not touching the bone), 1 ¼ to 1 ½ hours. Carefully remove the chicken and can from the grill (do not spill contents of the beer can, as it will be very hot).
