Lump or Brickettes

[E's Smokin]

I just picked up a few bags of Royal Oak that was on sale at Lowes, they were brickettes, when I got home the other bag of Royal Oak that I picked up last week was lump
Which is better for seasoning the smoker,( hopefully this weekend )

Thanks

I use lump for my grill, cause it will burn hotter.
And I use briquettes to get a coal bed going in my offset.
But as said above either will work for seasoning a smoker, and any wood will work too.
But I'm partial to hickory & oak.

For seasoning either will work.

I like to use briq's for grilling, starting my stick burner(then all wood) or cold smoking in my WSM. if I'm hot smoking in the WSM i like lump. I would use lump to start the stick burner but the wally world brand ridge line birqs are $4.92/16# so since its not a flavor thing i just use a little of that to start the smoker.

Happy Smoking,

I like to use brickettes for cooking just because there easier for me to control the temps and seem to last longer. For seasoning it doesn't matter whichever you have on hand or is cheaper to buy.

Lump is my go to for seasoning a new smoker. I use Cowboy Brand.
As far as cooking goes. I start a cook with white hot Kingsford and add the lump to get the temp I'm shooting for.

Both are good. I like the lump better but would not turn down the brcks
