Try lump, especially in winter. You probably got ash choked and cold wind can be a bugger, a wind block helps alot. Lump tastes better, burns way hotter meaning you can use less to get the same heat, and makes 1/4th of the ash. Once I got used to lump's personality, I fell in love and will never go back to briquettes. Just my $.02
