For longer cooks, do you use lump the same as you would briquettes in say a minion style by placing hot coals on top of unlit lump coals? Or, do you just light a chimney full and add to it as you go?

I have used lump in my kettle as well as offset firebox, and use it just like I would use briquettes, with good results. I will say that if you monitor the cook with a device like the Smoke or Fireboard, you see more fluctuations in the pit temp with lump than with briquettes, due to variation in size, air space between pieces of charcoal, and such. It all averages out about the same though.
