Charcoal is made by burning wood in the absence of oxygen, and lump charcoal is the product of that. Since lump is charcoal in its most natural form, it's no wonder purists will almost always prefer it. Beyond that, lump charcoal has a lot of attractive qualities; it lights faster, burns hotter, and leaves very little ash compared to briquettes.
There are a few reasons. The difference between lump charcoal and briquets is huge. Briquets are usually made with petroleum binders, so there is a chemical taste associated with the initial burn. That is why you have to wait until it ashes over to cook on it, and they recommend starting additional charcoal in a chimney before adding it.
