New charcoal messed up my cook.

So I decided to try another charcoal with my brisket the other day. I used Stubbs instead of my normal Kingsford. A lot of people gave it great reviews. I figured natural was better. I couldn't get it to burn clean until 4.5 hours which made the meat taste over smoked. Kind of made me mad.... Is that normal or did I get a bad bag?

I have only used Kingsford and since it works so well for me I am a little sketchy to try anything else, but that is just me

You can choise: something not possible here! I would like to have this kind of problem!

I've never had any problems with Stubb's charcoal and been using it almost exclusively for the last few years.

Idk what the deal was? I let it burn 30 minutes longer than I normally do before putting the meat on to try to get a clean fire. I figured surely it would clear up. Having to add sauce to brisket broke my heart....
