Just purchased my first WSM, the 14.5 to take camping with me. My intention is to be able to use it both as a smokey joe grill and as a smoker. I've been making Q for a number of years, first on a Smoke Hollow propane smoker, and the last year or so on a Masterbuilt Dual Fuel Charcoal/Propane smoker. With the Masterbuilt, I always use lump charcoal. The WSM manual says that lump charcoal is not recommended. Why is that?
It also had a warning regarding lighter fluid soaked charcoal, I'm assuming this is "match-light," suggesting using it could cause bodily harm. What's the deal with this? I don't typically use match-light, but it's actually really handy for getting camp fires going when the wood's a little wet.
