I think it depends on the type and brand of lump charcoal you’re using.Lump charcoal also doesn't last as long for a long cook.
If I am using my drum smoker I can do pork butts with 1 bag of briquettes, but it takes 2 bags of lump.
I prefer lump, but for 6+ hour cooks it is a pretty significant increase.
Yeah, you're probably right. I don't have much of a selection nearby so it is almost always royal oak lump.I think it depends on the type and brand of lump charcoal you’re using.
I’ve noticed cowboy charcoal burns pretty fast but I bought a bag of Kamado Joe from Lowe’s that is much more dense and burns hotter and longer.
Cons: relatively expensive
Another reason I love my electric water smoker, pop in two or three nice chunks of your favorite wood In and they smolder for many hours only needing to add a chunk or two after five hours
Are you going by weight or mass? For the same size bag lump weighs a good bit less. But yeah it does seem to burn quicker, even on a shorter cook.Lump charcoal also doesn't last as long for a long cook.

It takes 2 15# bags of lump or 1 18# bag of briquettes to run my drum smoker for a day.Are you going by weight or mass? For the same size bag lump weighs a good bit less. But yeah it does seem to burn quicker, even on a shorter cook.

There's never a bad/wrong time to fire up a smokerI'm firing up the smoker about noon today to make pork butts for tomorrow. Am I insane? (Don't answer that.)
