    Just picked up this Webber, and it has been a blast!

    Threw a whole chicken on the grill, after spatchcocking and stuffing some of the skin with Cajun butter. Right before I covered it I threw some apple wood chips on the coals to smoke it out. The flats may have been sacrificed, but the breasts made up for it! They were super juicy!

    I definitely need to clean up some of the butchering of the meat post cook! Will definitely be doing again!

    Gonna try some ribs next I think.

    And of course I had to pay the dog tax (he didn’t get any of the chicken bc it had onion powder on it)

    Lots of dirty smoke. It takes some time to dial in the ventilation on a kettle for a longer cook. Bird came out looking pretty good, but I know some of that skin had an acrid/bitter flavor. Wait for that light blue smoke before tossing the meat on.

    when I do birds, I stuff it then put it on a rack in a foil tray and baste every half n hour. I gotta try it like this next time tho

    Last whole chicken I made was a capon but not spatchcocked. I don’t know if something happened to me after turning 50 (51 now), but I’ve moved away from whole birds on the grill and opted to break my birds down completely and grilled parts. Much easier getting all the parts cooked properly.

    Cooking on a Weber charcoal grill is awesome! Glad you’re enjoying it!

    Too many coals. Cooking at too high a temperature from what I see. How many times did you rotate and or foil at all

    Tip… blend your spices together so you get an even coating of the spice blend. That way, one chunk of chicken won’t taste like just salt and paprika.

    It doesn’t seem like the first time
