Barbequed Buttermilk Chicken

Tried another one from Chef John.

Started the marinade last night, mowed lawn and trimmed my front trees this morning (cloudy and cool, nice!) and let the Large come up to temp while I took a shower.  Chef John cooks on an Egg too, but I went raised indirect, 400º, hoping for a little bit less burning.  Came out well:
 
 
 
Before getting my Egg the only chicken I ever cooked was skinless, boneless breasts or thighs, and usually in a wok.  Anymore I can usually carve up a whole raw chicken, or cooked spatchcock chicken, but this is the first time I tried carving cooked half-chickens; let's say I butchered it, and not in a good way.    
 
Damn it was good.  I usually get 3 or 4 meals out of one chicken (especially a 5-pounder) but the first half pretty much disappeared, and I'm due for a nap.  I also left the wing tips and flappers on, unlike CM.  I will be making this again, but maybe cutting up the bird into parts before cooking.
 
And a question:  the Commissary had three different brands of buttermilk, but they were all marked "Lo Fat"; is that the only way buttermilk is available?
