Question. ....
I plan on smoking brisket with oak splits. Is it a waste of money to start the fire using lump charcoal and then adding the splits or should using briquettes to start the fire be the way to go? Does it even matter even though lump charcoal is a few dollars more per bag than briquettes?
What do the veteran smokers use to initially start the fires?
