The cup is for transferring and measuring briquettes to your chimney or grill.

Im from south Africa.  First weber ive owned. When doing a whole chicken do you keep top and bottom  vents open full?

Generally speaking, yes. You want a hot indirect fire so the skin crisps up.

Hello and Welcome. If this is your first charcoal grill, take a little time and search "Weber grills" on YouTube. I would start out cooking a few hotdogs and hamburgers that way you can play with the vents and learn what they do. Here's a good start. They boys have been around for a long time.
