I did a brisket today and used lump for the first time. I had a lot of trouble keeping the temperature down. It was consistently 270-280 throughout the cook even though I had all bottom vents closed and the top one only about a quarter open. I used the Minion method and had sand in the water pan. The brisket came out OK, not as good as ones I've done using Kingsford (it was tender but a little dry).
Did I use too much fuel or is there some trick to keeping the temperature down when using hotter burning lump charcoal?
