We have built a new "S" type charcoal basket for my offset. It is a larger version of the one I already have, the new one is about 22X22X9 in a 24" square firebox. In my older, smaller basket I used to run Rancher and it worked well. Of course now I am out of Rancher and only have access to Kingsford or RO lump. I used Kingsford a couple of weekends ago and it made so much ash I couldn't believe it. I'll need to use the new basket next weekend and don't have time to make a practice run. My question is, do you guys use lump or briquettes in you're baskets? I would run Kingsford, but I'm afraid that the ash will choke out the fire. Should I use RO lump? Does the lump tend to run hotter or burn faster? Help me out here guys.
