Lump Charcoal or Briquettes?

Have always used Kingsford briquettes but see a lot of lump now on shelves? Is lump better or basically not much difference with grilling?

Depends on what you're cooking...
Lump burns hot and faster.
I use on steaks. Burgers sometimes too depending.
Charcoal briq will cook slower and if smothered early can be good for pork/chicken on bone/ribs.

Kingsford professional is my favorite

Propane baby. Taste the meat, not the heat

Lump. Natural lump. Like Fogo or BGE brand. Burns long. Charcoal briquettes are nothing but ground up 2x4s.

I've used both extensively but prefer briquettes. Burn more even, can stack, align, snake whatever. I also like the Kingsford Professional the best but I've found the all natural ones from Trader Joes are fantastic.
When I go camping I like using lump in the campfire. Cooking over lump outside in the woods is almost a level 10 for me. Of course I'll throw some seasoned oak or pecan for some natural smoke. I find lump to be really ashy. In a grill I don't like it, open fire sure, it doesn't bother me.

B&B is my favorite for all charcoal. I have a propane grill but a charcoal drum smoker. I have been using B&B char logs in my smoker the past few months and it has all the best properties of briquettes and lump

I use only Lump, but I have a ceramic Kamado style grill.

Nope. Kingsford actually has a small amount of COAL which adds flavor that even wood can't produce.

I started using lump when I got an egg 10 years ago. I use it now in my Webber kettle at camp. I just think it’s a superior cooking experience once you learn how to use it.

This. I like to use lump when I need it real hot - usually for steaks, blackening fish, etc. other than that, I prefer briquettes

I’ve been royal oak lump guy for years
Briquettes have a lot of crap in them that I just don’t want around my food.

Glad to see you're not trolling on this forum.
To answer your question, lump works great where high heat is required and briquettes are the way to go for low and slow, extended cooking.
All that said, briquettes are the most versatile.

Get real, everybody knows binchotan is the way.
But seriously, briquettes are my standard fuel source.

That doesn't even make sense, Hank.

B and B lump is the best I've found so far for lump, costco lump is cheap bulk but dosent burn as good. Briquettes are better for slow cooking where you can do a snake burn.
