Congrats on all counts,
@aguyindallas Looks like you are set for life!
To answer your question about briquettes vs. lump, I don't find a huge difference in cooking with one or the other. Lump runs a bit hotter, but I find that I use about the same volume (in a chimney) for roughly the same cooking time. So just get to work and see how it works for you.
The really fine point of lump vs. briquette is that the briqs have more filler, and so they make more ash. Also, briqs are 'heavier', since they have that binder in them. So IMO you get more BTUs out of a pound of lump than out of a pound of briqs, which means that pound-for-pound purchase comparisons are misleading (I don't mind paying a little more for lump because I feel like I get more cooking out of the same weight).
All to say, you are set, my friend! Congrats.
