Just tried hardwood lump coal. I started out by putting about six pieces of
regular charcoal and put three good size piece on top in my chimney and put that on top of a sterno can for about 5 minutes it lit real well.This is a small amount because of the size of my smoker see pic below.it started out high about 350 then it leveled off after about 20 minutes.Been running pretty steady for about and hour just added another piece of lump.seems to burn hotter than regular charcoal.
Good Luck and Good smoking
