Hey folks,
Don't post much, but y'all have helped me more than you know just lurking and browsing the forum for ideas and suggestions. I know the lump vs. briquette discussion/argument has been a popular topic...okay, beaten to death. But I wanted to throw my thoughts into the ring as well.
For one, I am apparently one of the few who has the problem of tasting something "off" in my food smoked over briquettes...I also smell a distinct, and quite unpleasant smell when using briquettes via the minion method. **Note: I have not had this issue at all when cooking over fully lit briquettes...
Anyway, I am big fan of RO lump (USA sourced/made) for it's all around performance/value.
I wondered if anyone else has experienced the same issues with taste and smell using the minion method WITH BRIQUETTES? I haven't had these issues using the minion method with lump...
