Lump Charcoal and smoking wood?

[Darin Hearn]

Just a question. If you are using a hardwood lump charcoal do you need to add wood chunks as well to get the smoked flavor in your meat? Or does the hardwood lump take care of that on its own?

 

[Tony Serra]

Add wood chunks.

Good lump will impart some smoke flavor, but it is very light. You don't have to worry about over doing the smoke just because you're using lump.
