Is there a trick to cooking it so that lumps don't form?

Whisk them into the liquid as you pour them in. Stir with a whisk not a spoon.

Whisk constantly. Do you add any dairy (milk, cream, half/half) to them ? Maybe increase to make them creamier ? I have been known to add mascarpone to grits and/or mashed potatoes to smooth them out a little.

Slowly drizzle the grits into the boiling water while stirring constantly. Lumps form when you try to rush that process.
