My best advice? Briqs give me consistency as well as better temp and flavor control and I'm all about control when I cook. Eliminate this variable. Pick one consistent brand of briquet, if you wish, get a brand with no additives if they bothers you, learn it, and stick with it for a year until you have all the other variables under control. The quality of the raw food, seasoning, sauce, cooking temp, and serving temp far outweigh the impact of charcoal on outcome.

So, that guy wants to grill but not have any of the flavoring from grilling? Why not just get a cooktop with a charbroiler or a IR grill? One of the best things about grilling is getting a better flavor that you won't get from a pan.

Also, dude lost me here. I've used both lump and briquettes in my offset to get the fire started, and the briquettes are ash in less than half an hour while the lump is still going.

The big disadvantage is that lump is harder to find, more expensive than briquets, burns out more quickly

By way of update...

After a year of whining and complaining about hating my bullet smoker and reading/researching kamodo smokers, my wife surprised me with a BGE for father's day on condition that I get rid the bullet smoker immediately and never speak of it again.

My wife let me get a Komodo Kamado last year. We were trending towards the Grill Dome due to the colors. I showed her some pics of these and once she read up on them she said "Get that. I don't want to mess up the look of my patio."

yes Ma'am!

This particular tile has an insane amount of variation so the owner of the company had them hand sorted to minimize the tiles with a lot of brown, leaving only those with the light blue almost white interior.

I've never had an egg before so nearly a year later I'm still learning how to cook on it. The biggest adjustment coming from an NG Weber for a decade is the lead time required to get it heat soaked and stable. I can grill with the best, but smoking is still a learning process. I had grilling on the Weber down to a science where I could fire it up for 15 minutes, toss a skirt steak on for 1 minute per side, then eat steak for lunch. You can do that with this, but it's a lot of work for a 2 minute cook during the middle of the day.

About 600#s crated. I almost lost a toe rolling it off the crate. 2 minutes of terror rolling it down the sidewalk from my fence gate to my backyard, making sure it didn't roll off the walk towards the fence, crushing me in the process.

I was also very smitten with the Blaze 20" cast aluminum, but it was too new to trust if it was worth the expense.
