I personally think that 165 F cooked leg temperature will suffice.

Advice for beef marrow bones?

If and when I am able to obtain decent Beef Shank Bones, I always extract the Marrow by pushing it out, then soak it for at least 24 hours in cold water changing it 5/6 times to extraxt any blood.
I then slice the Marrow about 1/4 inch thick, place on pre-toasted good French Bread, sprinkle with liquified Coleman's English Mustard, a bit of Sea Salt and broil.

HI,  HERE IN LOUISIANA WE HAVE BEEN DOING BEER CAN CHCKEN FOR YEARS..WE USUALLY PUT WATER IN AN EMPTY CAN WITH ONIONS, PEPPERS, A LITTLE LIQUID FLAVORING OF YOUR CHOICE SUCH AS BBQ SAUCE, LIQUID SMOKE , SOY SAUCE, HOT SAUCE ETC. WE THEN SEASON THE CHICKEN ALL OVER WITH JUST ABOUT ANYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE, BUT ALWAYS  WITH ONION & GARLIC POWDER, SALT AND RED PEPPER.  WE HAVE EVEN INJECTED THE CHICKEN. THERE ARE SO MANY WAYS SO JUST  THINK UP YOUR OWN WAY AND IT WILL COME OUT GREAT. IF DOING IT IN THE OVEN PUT THE CHICKEN IN A PAN WITH ABOUT AN INCH OF WATER IN IT AND IT WILL ALSO HOLD THE MOISTURE  BUT YET HAVE A CRUNCHY OUTER SKIN.  YUM >>>ENJOY

I bbq my beer can chicken in a Caphalon angel food cake pan. I put the liquid and any other seasonings in the bottom of the pan and it steams as well as having the chicken directly over the can and cuts down on all the grease splattering on the grill and cover.

The flavored juice drinks in the Mexican section at the supermarket are also a good choice. They come in a can (like Colas) and in flavors like Peach, Nectar, Pear, etc. The Nectar is great with a brown sugar based rub. Gotta love the looks of that chicken sitting up there getting all pretty!!!
SCHLURP!!!!!!!!

Oh, one other thing. I have a traditional Weber charcoal grill with the dome lid and we cooked two 3-4 lb. chickens at one time with room to spare. The bricks in the bottom unintentionally sped up the cooking time (I had put them in the bottom of my grill to keep the charcoal pushed to either side of the grill), but that was great and the chickens turned out very juicy. We gave one to a friend who said it was the best chicken she had ever had. I hope this helps the person up there who has a Weber grill. I love mine and I will never go back to gas. Hated that.

This was super delicious and has got me buying whole chickens again. Instead of the drip pan I put bricks in the middle of my weber charcoal grill (I have a gas grill too, but never used it) with the charcoal on either side. We made 3 chickens last Saturday on Pepsi cans. They took just over an hour over the bricks. Indirect heat cooking on my grill has revolutionized along with the chimney has revolutionized my outdoor cooking. We live inland California and it is way too hot to use my kitchen starting in about May. With indirect heat I have even cooked Silver Palate's Chicken Marbella in a glass dish along with some steamed broccoli and my house stays cool!
