I put a potato recipe up a page or two back...

and shrimp on the grill is simple, the thing is to NOT over cook it, soon as it turns pink (2 mins), flip (2 mins) and then remove from heat

not sure if this is what he's talkin about but I have done something like it before...

 in the pit where you put the charcoals, u leave one side empty. fill the entire half with coals, the empty side, u put a big pot or pan of water. when u put the meat on the grill, u put it on the side over the pot of water. and cover the grill per usual.

its a slower cooking  process but the meat is definitely fall off the bone good

ngredients

* 1 (12-ounce) can beer
* 1 (31/2 to 4 pound) chicken
* 2 tablespoons Basic Barbecue Rub, recipe follows
* 2 cups cola Barbecue Sauce, recipe follows
* 4 to 6 cups hickory or apple wood chips, soaked for 1 hour in water to cover, drained

Directions

Pop the tab off the beer can. Using a church key style can opener, make a few more holes in the top of the can. Pour out half the beer into the soaking water of the wood chips. Set the can of beer aside.

Set up the grill for indirect grilling and preheat to medium. If using a charcoal grill, place a large drip pan in the center. If using a gas grill, place all the wood chips in the smoker box or in a smoker pouch and preheat the grill to high until you see smoke, then reduce the heat to medium.

Remove the packet of giblets from the body cavity of the chicken and set aside for another use. Remove and discard the fat just inside the body and neck cavities. Rinse the chicken, inside and out, under cold running water, drain, and blot dry inside and out with paper towels. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of the rub inside the body and neck cavities of the chicken. Rub the bird all over on the outside with 2 teaspoons of the rub. If you have the patience, you can put some of the rub under the skin being careful not to tear it.

Spoon the remaining 2 teaspoons of rub through the holes into the beer in the can. Don't worry if it foams up, this is normal. Insert the beer can into the body cavity of the chicken and spread out the legs to form a sort of tripod. Tuck the wing tips behind the chicken's back.

When ready to cook, if using a charcoal grill, toss all the wood chips on the coals. Stand the chicken up in the center of the hot grate, over the drip pan and away from the heat. Cover the grill and cook the chicken until the skin is a dark golden brown and very crisp and the meat is cooked to an internal temperature of 180 degrees F, about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. If using a charcoal grill, you'll need to add 12 fresh coals per side after 1 hour.

Using tongs, carefully transfer the chicken in its upright position on the beer can to a platter and present it to your guests. Let rest 5 minutes, and then carefully remove the chicken from the beer can. Take care not to spill the hot beer and burn yourself. Quarter or carve the chicken and serve with Cola barbecue sauce.
Basic Barbecue Rub:

*
* 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
* 1/4 cup sweet paprika
* 3 tablespoons ground black pepper
* 3 tablespoons kosher or sea salt
* 1 tablespoon hickory salt
* 2 teaspoons garlic powder
* 2 teaspoons onion powder
* 2 teaspoons celery seeds
* 1 teaspoon cayenne powder

Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir to blend together. Store the rub in an airtight jar away from heat or light and it will keep for at least 6 months.
Cola Barbecue Sauce:

*
* 1 cup cola
* 1 cup ketchup
* 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
* 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
* 3 tablespoon steak sauce, (recommended: A-1 Steak Sauce)
* 1 teaspoon onion flakes
* 1 teaspoon garlic flakes
* 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Combine all the ingredients in a heavy non-reactive saucepan and gradually bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat slightly to obtain a gentle simmer. Simmer the sauce until reduced by 1/4, about 6 to 8 minutes. Use right away or transfer to a large jar, cool to room temperature, cover, and refrigerate. The sauce will keep for several months.

You can also barbecue a chicken on a can of cola, lemon-lime soda, or root beer
