Grove Lump

Ran out of RW and did not have time to go get more and grabbed a bag of Grove to smoke 20 lbs of butt.  First time I have been below 250 for a low and slow.  My question is do different brands of lump burn different?  Anyone ever use Grove before?  In my opinion not too bad but not as neutral as RW.

    I would think different brands burn differently but have no scientific proof.  All I use is Grove lump.  I love the smoke flavor from it.  It's top notch in my opinion.  
    I think it's time for another beer!

    I think there can be a difference.  I bought a bag of Cowboy   Not my best purchase.   It seemed to take longer to get to temp.  It worked ok for a long smoke. But, I tried a pizza the next day and had a hard time getting over 425.   I think part was my fault for not clearing it out.   There was a LOT of small pieces  left.   Also - it seemed like a lot more ashes.   I don't think I was getting the air flow.  I tried again with all new - but there was till a lot of small pieces.     Switched to Royal Oak - and heats much better again.     I got 5 bags of RW coming from Firecraft.   I expect that to be much better.
