Thanks.
I'll just say one more thing on the 'smell' – it’s something I’ve just thought of. I think it would be rude and presumptuous of me to set myself up as some sort of 'golden nose', so I won't insult other forum members with such hubris.
I love to cook, and I loved good wine. I regularly cook (and provide wine) for a circle of friends, including professional chefs and foodies.
These people say what they think, and between them they have a very keen sense of smell. And they're honest - we all are with each other.
Not a one has ever said anything other than that they love the smell of the barbecue, to the point where they'll come outside when I light the barbecue, rather than when the food is up.
I believe one make of briquette may smell different to another, and that briquettes usually smell different to lump, and I fully accept this difference may be off-putting to lump purists. But aside from paraffin-covered jobs, I don't think too many briquettes smell empirically 'bad'. And the main smell, paraffin jobs aside, is always the charcoal.
