I apologize if this has been discussed before, but I have not been able to find the answers so far in this forum, so I am posting new here.
First, does lump burn hotter than coal?
Second, does lump burn longer than coal?
Finally, the Cowboy brand lump charcoal I purchased has many large pieces and many tiny pieces. The tiny are too small for the chimney starter as they fall through the bottom. They also fall through the grate on the bottom of my WSM. The large seem much too big for "starter" coals and don't fit easily in the chimney.
So I guess my question is do I dig through the bag for "medium size" pieces of lump for the chimney starter and put the larger stuff in the charcoal ring, or should I be using the large pieces in the chimney?
This seems like such a simple question, but I have the gut feeling that there is a "correct" and an "incorrect" way to do this. Thanks.
