Chose lump charcoal over briquettes for a brisket, big difference in cleanup
Did a 14 pound brisket last Saturday using lump for the first time after 4 years of briquettes. Lump ran way hotter than I expected, had to dial the vents back almost half way on my 22 inch Weber. Ash was way lighter and less to scoop out the next morning, which was nice. But the burn was uneven in spots, had a few flare ups around the edges. Anyone else switch and feel like they had to relearn their whole temp game?
