I am now experimenting more with lump charcoal for grilling because more brands of lump are available in Alaska (at least in stores around Anchorage). My question for you lump experts is how much do you use to start with. I have a Smokey Joe, an 18" OTG and a 22" Performer. With briquettes it's easy to just calculate how many pieces it will take to cover the grate on each of my grills. With lump it's a little more challenging due to the many odd size pieces and my confessed lack of knowledge as to how much heat lump will produce and how long to expect it to burn. If anyone has any good rules of thumb they have developed over the years for using lump, please share your knowledge.
Thanks.
