Hi Everyone
Thanks for all you input.
One mistake I did make was not having a thermometer for the bbq. I watched a youtube video and was showing how to do a basic chicken with no thrills. But I am going to buy one now to make sure I can regulate the bbq temp. I do have a meat thermometer to make sure the food is cooked.
I am going to try lump wood for the next bbq.
Is there a rule of thumb with regards to how much coal to put on.
One bbq novice mistake is too put too much coal on which creates a lot of heat, but I fear I might be going the other way with too little coal.
Is lumpwood OK for cooking whole chicken. Know lumpwood is good for steaks and burgers from what I read. But was thinking fewer coals to reduce the heat.

Hi
Very new to bbq.
I cooked my first whole chicken the other night (1.5KG).
Used the indirect heating on the webber bbq.
Looking at videos online the cook was suggesting about 1hr 15mins. The cook took me about 3hrs in the end.
The food also tastes quite smokey - but not a nice smoke taste.
I used Bar Be Quick Charcoal Briquettes.
Any advice how I can get my food to taste less smokey. Is it down to the Briquettes I used and probably not enough coals that made it a rather long cook that led to the chicken being quite smokey.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Cheers
