Unique experience!
I don't have a current picture as I used this a little while ago. The heat distribution was good. The burn time is excellent. I loved the flavour it added to our food and the smell . My husband and kids on the other hand found it over bearing. This is why I am giving it only 3 stars. It will definitely be a person to person basis on the smell and flavour. Overall though it's a good product.

Great smoke flavor to grilled food
My husband usually uses the original, but went to the local grocery store to purchase and find this with wood chips right in the charcoal. The flavor of our grilled meat was nice and smoky. It was a tad expensive, but that could have been due to where we bought it!

Tasty
This was really good. We went to the park and grilled and used the parks grill. You needed charcoal however. We bought a small bag of this from Walmart and it was really good. When it was burning it smelled good and we didn’t even out the food on the grill yet. Gave food a subtle flavor like it was in a smoker(which is probably not good for you however it happens with regular charcoal too)

Flavor is everything
I love the smell of a good fire. Especially when I’m cooking. I use this all summer long. And even winter. It has the perfect mesquite smell and makes the food have a great taste aswell. It’s not messing and it lights very easily. If I’m ever looking for charcoal this is the brand and flavor I go for.

Definition of Grilled
If I grill any kind of meat it will always be with Kingsford. It’s a classic and I don’t care for nothing else. The price. Its value and the taste is the best that you can ask for.

Awesome Charcoal
The flavor was delicious with our hamburgers and the charcoal lasted for a long time. Kingsford is always our choice for charcoal because the heat it produces and the small amount of ash that comes off of it.

Mesquite
Kingsfords Mesquite smells amazing as it heats up and cooks, leaving that great mesquite taste to your food! Great Ash production, even and long lasting heat distribution and burn time. True to the Kingsford Brand name.

Our go to for all our grilling needs!
So Kingsford is the only charcoal or wood chips I will use. The mesquite adds that hint of flavor to my food and is exactly what I'm looking for. One light and this charcoal lets me cook for the entire group lasting easily through the cookout. Kingsford charcoal always distributes the heat throughout the grill. This is our go to for all of our cookouts!

Not my favorite
Good concept but there are better ways to achieve the different smokey favors. Found the coals burn quickly and dont burn as hot normal standard charcoal. Also found sometimes the food had and overly smokey or no smoke flavor.

Flavored charcoal
We ran out of original coal and this was the only variety left on July 4! Needless to say we doubled this mesquite flavored charcoal. The ribs and burgers had an intense bbq smoked flavor to them. Everyone kept asking what I seasoned or the smoked the meat with? What a pleasant surprise! The burn time is average but the scent is extremely pleasant and it lingers even after the coal is out! This has got to be an underrated charcoal because I had never seen this variety until I was all out. I hope this stays in stock forever because we will be using this charcoal for all cook outs/bbq! Great job on this one Kingsford

Perfect flavor for steaks
When grilling steaks I like using Mesquite, they leave a different flavor which makes it delicious. Sometimes I mix charcoal and mesquite and omg the flavor is incredible.

The only kind I use
I'm from the southwest so I used mesquite wood a lot growing up. I like that there's a product out there that allows me to still use mesquite here in the Midwest where I live.
It works great in the chimney that I have and it imparts mesquite flavor to the chicken whenever I grill it.

Good
I liked this charcoal but it wasn’t my absolute favorite. My boyfriend really liked it though. It definitely helps give certain foods you cook on the grill a more enhanced Smokey flavor. It gives a more authentic bbq wood smoke taste to the veggies and meat you cook

Good Mesquite Flavor
We love to grill out and we especially love grilling with our charcoal grill. I just prefer the flavor charcoal gives to grilled food. I think this product gives your burgers, chicken, pork chops, weiners, and ribs just the right amount of mesquite flavor. I don't care for the mesquite flavor on my vegetables though. This product is very easy to use. Just put the desired amount in your charcoal grill then squirt your lighter fluid and light. Let the charcoal burn down before adding your food or you will burn yourself. If you love the mesquite flavor then get yourself a bag of this.

Awesome flavor
My family has used the Mesquite flavored charcoal for the past 25 years now, but I have not been able to find it at ANY store for the last 6 months. WHAT HAPPEND? There are several other charcoal brands still producing and selling the mesquite, but not Kingsford. Please bring it back!!

Stinky Stuff
I bought this a couple of months ago because I thought it was the same as the Mesquite we used to buy - it's not!!!! My husbands clothes smell so bad after he grills that it all has to go into the wash immediately or it smells up the whole house. It is a smell so bad that I cannot describe it adequately. Don't buy this stuff! Buy the regular charcoal and add your own flavors.

This is definitely my
This is definitely my favorite charcoal, and the mesquite flavor is an amazing addition to any food. It's easy to light, and burns evenly. It does burn a little quick but you can get long-lasting ones as well. They pretty much have charcoal for any type of situation you could think of.
