Briquettes are great for grilling. Using them in a smoker is just...eeeewwww....

Other than starting the firebox, I'm not sure folks use either. Maybe I'm wrong, but when I smoke something, I've used only wood for more than a decade.
So yes, I grill with charcoal, but I don't use hardly any for smoking.
Then again, I've seen many of the lump charcoal group use lighter fluid to start the charcoal, and that in and of itself is total fail I'm told.
