To me, each of them tastes quite a bit like...Oh. You meant 'food
cooked with' them.

Only time I used briquets was around 15 or more years ago when I knew
no better than to also use starter fluid. So I've no data.

Grilling? I don't grill with gas[1]--though the food I've had which
was grilled over gas flames seemed just fine. Haven't grilled that
much, period, really--but when I do so, at least at home, it's with
lump. [1] That'd be 'cause my 7-in-One doesn't achieve what I'd call
'grilling temp' with gas. It's fine for Q, and would work okay for
indirect heat cooking like a chicken, but direct heat isn't at all its
forte.
