Oh and briquets are full of nasty crap. You want lumpwood charcoal - HTH.
As with most things, there are good briquettes and rubbish ones.
Depending on how you are cooking as lump wood / briquettes have their pros and cons. Different tools for different jobs (a bit like a gas vs charcoal bbq).
Briquettes, by their nature, are uniform. So for a low and slow cook where you need to be tighter with your temps they are ideal. Where as hot and fast like sausages/drumsticks/burgers, lump is great.
There is shit lump out there too, some stuff is like 5 Nov going off in the kettle, sparks everywhere that leave black gritty specks everywhere.
