Can You Use Lump Charcoal And Briquettes?
Yes, you can use lump charcoal and briquettes together for grilling and smoking. Some people prefer the flavor and faster heat-up time of briquettes, while others prefer the natural taste and longer burn time of lump charcoal. Mixing the two can provide a good balance of both, but it’s important to make sure the briquettes are fully lit before adding the lump charcoal to prevent uneven heat distribution.
