Place stem of candy thermometer through top vent, with gauge on outside of lid and tip near chickens (thermometer should not touch chickens or rack); leave thermometer in place during cooking. Use top and bottom barbecue vents to maintain temperature between 275°F and 325°F, opening vents wider to increase heat and closing to decrease heat. Keep any other vents closed. Check temperature every 10 minutes.

Let cool to room temperature. (The glaze can be made a day ahead.)
• Preheat the grill. For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes turn off one of the middle burners and turn the remaining burners down to medium. For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter full of lit and ashed over charcoal brickets to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups.
• Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry inside and out with paper towels, then season inside and out with salt and pepper.
• Pour out about a 1/4 cup of the root beer from the second can. Place the large opening of the chicken right over the can (the can should be well inside the cavity of the bird), making sure that the legs are positioned straight out. Tuck the wings behind the back of the chicken. Carefully place the chicken over the indirect-heat spot on the grill, balancing it on its two legs and the root beer can like a tripod.

Uncover the grill and brush the chicken all over with about one-third of the root beer glaze. Cover and continue to cook until the chicken is nicely browned and registers 170 degrees F. at the thickest part of the thigh, 10 to 15 minutes more.
• Carefully remove the chicken from the grill with the can still inside. Let chicken rest for about 15 minutes. With the chicken still on the can, use a pair of kitchen shears to cut down either side of the backbone and remove. Remove the chicken from the can and carve as desired. Serve with the remaining root beer glaze on the side.

Brush the chicken all over with about one-third of the root beer glaze. Continue to roast until the chicken is nicely browned and registers 170 degrees F. at the thickest part of the thigh, 10 to 15 minutes more.
