For about the last year I've been cooking almost exclusively with Kingsford Professional because Costco carried it at a pretty good price consistently. However, the "season" is over and it's not available anymore. (Remind me to load up on bags about this time next year.)
With that said, most of the love briquettes get make sense when you're tending the fire: they burn consistently, evenly, and predictably. This is all very nice and when I have to leave the house for an hour or two, I can probably get away with it.
With a thermostatic controller (I got a Flame Boss 300 last week) does it matter though? It seems to me that since I have a robot sitting there making reactive adjustments as needed, just about any fuel will due. The consistency just doesn't seem nearly as important.
Am I way off on this, or if I start tossing in some lump instead of briquettes is everything going to go pretty much the same?
