gravity feed charcoal selection

[dtyates]

Any recommendation on what type of charcoal to use in a gravity feed smoker? Will regular old Kingsford get the job done or do I need to go with lump? What are yalls thoughts?

For longer ( overnight) cooks I use Kingsford . Short cooks I use lump. If using lump just remember to break any unusually large pieces so they don't get hung in the chute ( this is normally not a problem in the larger units ) also you'll get shorter burn times with lump. To answer your question, yes Kingsford will work just fine

I use Stubbs and have good luck. It produces less ash and good smoke.

Kingsford should work fine, but I prefer a hardwood briquette. Less ash and better flavor to me. I also use Stubbs.

Stubbs is all I used to use when I owned my Stumps , burns hot and less ash and it is only $8 a bag .
