In a perfect world, lump charcoal is pure carbon so there is no smoke, no
odor. When briquettes, you have more fillers, less wood, burning hotter
reduces the smoke, Couple that with the fact that the cake pan blocks all
smoke except the top, you'd have little if any, smoke flavor. Years ago,
all cooking was done over wood or coal.
