I think lump charcoal is the best fuel.  Charcoal briquettes generate
a lot more ash and a lot less heat.  Good dry hardwood (the offcuts
of white oak I got from the boat shed at the St. Michael's Maritime
Museum were great) is better than briquettes.  Coal puts out a lot
of heat, but can be hard to start.  The self-lighting briquettes will
drop a lot of soot on your deck.

I use small (or pieces) wax-impregnated firestarters for getting it
going.
