Anyone tried this lump?

Noticed this at the store , in my pre mbge days Kingsford was all I used.

I would bet the operative word here is briquets but to answer your question, I have not.  Perhaps others will be along.  Lump discussions here are hotter than politics or religion elsewhere.

I have not, but the key here like @lousubcap said is briquets. All briquets were "lump" charcoal one stage until it is ground up and then have chemical additives and binders added including clay! And then the slurry is pressed into the briquet form. BTW if you ever wondered why briquets turn gray when burning that is the exposure of the clay and that explains why you have so much ash with briquets.

Never researched the process, it’s good to know. Can probably find an episode of “how it’s made”.

Some years ago, I bought a couple of bags of Wicked Good "all natural" briquettes. I recall them being just ground lump w. a corn starch binder. Just like standard briquettes, they clogged the Egg up rapidly w. ash. I stopped using it, and held it for the occasion when I might run out of lump. When that happened a few years later, I found more than half the briquettes had turned back to dust. I stopped considering any kind.
