    Another vote for KB briquettes with chunks of fruit wood for anything Weber.

      Joetee I have multiple charcoal cookers including some kettles. I do not own, nor have I ever cooked on a kamado. On my kettles, WSM and PBC I don't like lump for low/slow. I find that briquettes, with their uniform size and composition, work much more steadily and predictably and that Weber briquettes, if you can find them, rock for low/slow. Now, I do occasionally use lump in my kettles for regular grilling. I currently have an open 20 pound bag of B&B, an unopen 20 pound bag of B&B and an unopen 30 pound bag of Western. Late last summer and last fall I ripped through 4 30 pound bags of Western. Now, Western isn't premium lump but I find it to burn better than Royal Oak lump and I got the bags on clearance at Walmart for $6.90 per bag. I've used Kamado Joe lump in my kettles and that is definitely a premium brand that produced excellent results.

      In a kettle, my recommendation is briquettes, particularly Weber, for low/slow in your kettle. If you want to use FOGO limit it to regular grilling. I think you'll be most pleased with your results on both ends of the spectrum.

        My Lowe's no longer carry Weber. I have used it. It's pretty good.
        I burned one full ring of Fogo in my kettle with a Cajun Bandit and it burned for 16 hours. The thing is, you need a tight kettle. Clamp your lid down with paper clips. Makes sure there is some ash down around your lower vent. Top vent open about 1/4 inch.

        I love lump better than briquettes on long burns because I don't bury my bottom vent with Ash.
