I second Duwop. Great stuff in the FAQ.
Realize that using lump is a bit different than charcoal. Charcoal is
designed to be "easy". Every piece is the same size and what not. Lump is
not designed- it is what it is. Wood that has be burnt in th absence of
oxygen. Not all the pieces are gonna be the same. It takes a little bit more
work but the results you get once you master it will blow you away.
