We used briquettes :-)

Depends on what you're making and how long you want it to smoke really. Quicker meals benefit from briquettes while smoking things like fish always do best with wood since the wood flavor actually gets into the... I'm hungry.

[TedStar]

Me too :(

I BBQ all the time (weather is awesome in southern California )

I use briquettes because It's a good balance between wood & lump coal, in terms of heat vs flavor.

[TedStar]

Thanks :)

[Prof_Don]

Plus briquettes are easy to light too!

Happy Holidays, and Happy Grilling! :-D

Cable/DirectTV have shows dedicated to this... are U trolling?

[TedStar]

Not trolling. I don't have cable/DirectTV. I have used all three, but wanted to know what the People use and their experiences

If you can't get lump then get a metal chimney to get briquets really hot, even a fan or bellows, then after that steaks, etc. are good to go. Briq + wood is excellent for smoking. High dollar BBQs joints use all hardwood, from cherry, mesquite, oak, pecan/hickory seems #1 https://texasbbqrub.com/wood.htm

Lump is best for high heat, fast cooking. I like briquettes for smoking.

[CourtJester]

Wood in my opinion. I don't like smell of the others.
