Many people are familiar with charcoal briquettes that are sold in grocery stores for grilling. One popular alternative is known as hardwood lump charcoal. These are pieces of charcoal that have not been extensively processed. Lump charcoal will create more heat than briquettes. It also burns quicker than briquettes so more is required for longer cooking times. Many homes have turned to hardwood lump charcoal for barbecuing because it contains no fillers and no lighter fluid that could affect the taste of food.
