Kingsford - Kingsford® Signature Flavors Briquets
I received the package of Kingsford - Kingsford® Signature Flavors Briquets — Basil Sage Thyme, and our family was very happy and excited by the flavors imparted during cooking. The three main flavors of Basil, Sage, and Thyme are noticeable but overwhelming. It was a nice change to not have to manually Season food, but to have the flavors cooked in, so easily, by using the innovation of flavored briquets. We look forward to trying other Kingsford products this spring and summer!!

Smelled great burning
This product smells good while burning but didn't notice a huge difference in flavor from original briquets. Seemed to break up in small pieces more with the aditional pieces of herbs added in to them. I would use it again.

So so good!
Couldn’t wait for it to warm up a tad to try this out. We really really enjoyed the smokiness and subtly herb flavor that this particular charcoal added to our chicken and pork chops so far. You use it like any other charcoal it’s just that little boost of aromatics that adds a lovely flavor. Kicks it up a notch.

Adds extraordinary flavor to foods!
I've been waiting for something like this to come along and I have to say, I'm super impressed at the difference you can taste in your grilled food. I do alot of brining in which I use these particular spices; basil, sage, and thyme, and after grilling chicken breast using this charcoal, it tasted like I had brined the chicken. It was a huge hit! The 8 pound bag in terms of cost is relatively average. Now that I've tried and enjoyed using this charcoal, I'd much rather buy it than the standard. The briquettes are the standard size and one side is just your typical charcoal look and the other side has your spices on them and are brown. You do have to use lighter fluid to start but I used very little so as to not have a heavy chemical taste or smell. Speaking of smell, once you light the charcoal, it smells amazing! There are also a few more flavor options. No matter if you season or marinade your food before grilling, the added flavor is just divine.

Subtle extra flavor!
I wasn't sure about these at first, I didn't think they would actually work. I was suprised at the extra flavor they added to our burgers and chicken. I don't really care for the basic charcoal flavor but these really spiced it up. The basil flavors are subtle but there. We add a little extra seasoning while cooking and everything turns out amazing! They burn well and are simple to use, no extra steps. We do keep the lid close longer to let the smoke flavor infuse more. I'm definitely going to buy and try other flavors!

Great flavor
This charcoal causes grilled food to be full of flavor. I made hamburgers on the grill which did pair nicely with the basil, sage and thyme flavor. It also made grilling that much enjoyable because of the aroma. Surprisingly, the hamburgers did not take long to make, under 20 minutes. I would like to try this charcoal with salmon and some grilled vegetables. I just wish this charcoal came in a bigger bag.

Awesome for chicken and pork bbq
We use a lot of recipes that involve the herbs for our chicken and pork bbq. So having this charcoal just help enhance the flavor of our food. This is my first time ever using this product and it gives off a very strong smell that I like. It helps gives our BBQ way for flavor. Will definitely get this product more for the future.

THIS is a GREAT PRODUCT!
Kingsford - Kingsford® Signature Flavors Briquets FLAVORED— Basil Sage Thyme has outdone themselves with this quality briquet! These long lasting and quick to get to temperature, about 15 minutes, paired with the FLAVOR of basil, sage and thyme built in is a GODSEND! It gives fish on the grill and chicken too, *these are the two meats I tested it with, a new kick! Not overpowering for flavor but a definite taste paired with smokey goodness! A sure HIT for summer!

Flavored briquets
Kinngsford recently added flavors to their charcoal. I received the basil, sage, and thyme scented. I love these herbs. I really like the idea of this concept, but I am not sure if I really tasted any of the flavors infused into my food. Maybe I’d have to try another time or maybe a different flavor. I do love the Kingsford brand. They lasted a good while and cooked my food great.

Surprising
We are a very food adventurous family. We'll try anything once. These briquets are genius! It makes perfect sense, too. You know how different wood will give your meat different flavors? Same concept here. The flavor notes that this added to our porkchops is so good. It's not overpowering- you don;t feel like you just ate a whole basil leaf. But the flavor of the basil, sage and thyme is there. I can't wait to use this on chicken and steak. And, I will definitely buy this again as well as try the other flavors!

QUICK LIGHTING
I've been a long time customer. I always buy Kingsford charcoal. It lights quickly and burns evenly. This particular herb infused charcoal is a unique concept, but I didn't really notice the herb flavoring because I already add herbs to my marinade and dry rubs. I do like the oak flavor this imparts into the meat. I'll continue to use Kingsford, but will just throw some herbs into a pierced foil pouch and place it on the charcoal to infuse the smoke.

Quickest way to add flavor
We really enjoyed the hassle free way to add flavor while grilling, without having to mess with a wood. The way the flavor briquets are mixed with regular charcole allowed for quick dump and light and the aroma of basil was great from beginning to end. The food came out tasty with hints of thyme and sage aswell.

Good Product!!!
These briquetes were very good. They were easy to use and burned great. They did not burn out too quickly and did not create a massive flame that I needed to calm. They were easy to use and easy to light! Yay no lighter fluid!!! They made my chicken taste so flavorful and smokey. The sage and thyme really shined through and made a great herbal flavor. I would definitely recommend these.

Neat
Kingsford - Kingsford Signature Flavors Briquets — Basil Sage Thyme is a great concept. I loved the flavor it added to our grilled food. The bag had a great mix of seasoned pieces and regular charcoal pieces. It's not like others I've seen and I like it. Can't wait to try the others!

Innovative and delicious idea!
I think the idea of having flavor infusing “boosters” added in with your briquets is such a genius idea. I decided to put the Kingsford signature flavors briquets with the Basil, Sage and Thyme flavor to the test on a turkey. I minimally seasoned the turkey so the flavors from the briquets could fully come thru and then smoked it in my digital charcoal smoker. This was the best turkey I have ever made! The meat was so tender and moist and the flavor was so good- smoky and herbal all at the same time!
I will definitely be using this product again to make for a special, smoked meal!

Burns great and smells good.
I used the charcoal in a Electric Gravity grill. While using it I noticed the smell of herbs which was rich and smooth. The charcoal itself burned great and left very little residue and ash on the grill. It allowed the grill to hold a consistent temperature which doesn’t happen with all charcoals. As for the flavor it was less then I had anticipated basing my anticipation off the smell. That said it is possibly a result of the grill not being a conventional charcoal grill. That said I am overall happy with the product and would be eager to try again on a conventional charcoal grill.

Great Product
These Signature Flavors Briquets are great. Very easy to use. My family and I had made some bbq chicken legs and used these briquets. It smelled so amazing and they tasted delicious. It was a nice smoky flavor and the basil, sage, and thyme gave it a amazing taste.

Delicious Results!
I was both excited and curious to try Kingsford's Signature Flavor Briquets and the outcome was excellent, exceeding my expectations. As expected with Kingsford in general, the charcoal was easy to light and burned perfectly. We grilled chicken and not only could you smell the herbs while it was cooking, it truly did flavor the meat and it was delicious! I'm now excited to try some of their other flavor blends!

Seriously? Where have these been all my life?!
Wow. That basically sums up this review. We grill a lot and when I saw these “flavored” briquettes, I was like, why not, I’ll try them out. The “flavor” I tried first was the basil, sage and thyme (green bag). First, you can smell the flavor infusion right when you open the bag. We chose chicken for this flavor, but I think any white meat would be great. Pork chops, fish, shrimp, etc. The briquettes l work just like any other Kingsford charcoal and the flavor these put into your meat…incredible. Highly recommend and will now try the other flavors. Try these out, your senses will thank you.

I was a little skeptical at first, but this gave my food such wonderful flavor! This will definitely be something we keep in our house from now on. An easy way to infuse flavor into your food when you don't have access to fresh herbs.

Great Added Flavor
I have always used Kingsford Charcoal and I am pleased with the new flavor enhanced line. I tried the basil, sage and thyme on some chicken wings and I just could not believe the flavor. It was just enough and I would have thought it was marinated with these herbs. I am going to try some lamb kabobs next time.

flavor booster
My husband always loves to use some kind of flavored wood when he uses the charcoil grill. He always used a applewood or cedar flavor, but since we love basil and sage I wanted to give this a try. The result was great flavored steak.

Smells like yum
With it being the winter months I'm not able to give a good full review of it but I am loving the smell of the briquettes of Basil time in the bag. I am quite impressed of how they were able to get that smell into one briquette. I can't wait until we can try it out in our charcoal grill for our first grill of the season.

Not impressed
Well I was excited to try this out but was very disappointed. The briquettes took a while to start burning and once they did I was able to smell the basil but nothing else. After all the meats were properly cooked I could not taste any of the sage or thyme. As for the basil unfortunately I could barely taste it.

Makes grilling fun
I got this sample of Kingsford Signature flavors briquettes from Tryit and in return am writing this review. My husband used these to cook some chicken and corn on the cob and boy was it tasty! The flavors of the herbs cooked into the chicken and added such a wonderful essence! Even the corn was flavored from the smoke coming from the briquettes. I definitely recommend getting these from Kingsford. I can't wait to try other flavors!
