Good taste
love that Kingsford Original Charcoal Briquets with Applewood contain 100% natural ingredients, are made in the USA, and are ready to cook on in 15 minutes. The 16 lb size is absolutely perfect for families with kids, since we are frequently grilling during the week (as it is much quicker than stovetop cooking)! The nutty wood flavor pairs perfectly for smoking turkey, pulled pork, and brisket - giving the meat that extra oomph! The long burn time allows the grillmaster enough time to cook thicker cuts of meat or a variety of other items (like veggies, meat alternatives, etc). I really enjoyed the smell and flavor that the charcoal briquets added to my meal

I use a little bit of this to get my smoker wood going! I love apple wood and this is great. It’s just like regular briquets but with a little something extra. Worth a try !

The only way I could
Smoky flavors and a good flavor are all the rage in the industry right here at Starbucks in San Diego Beach and I think you can find a lot more of these flavors here

Adds nice flavor
Kingsford Charcoal with Applewood delivers a nice, mild smoky flavor to your food. Lighting speed is quick, similar to regular Kingsford briquettes, and the flame intensity is steady but not overly aggressive. Heat output is solid, providing even cooking temperatures for a good amount of time.
The smoke production is noticeable but not overwhelming, adding a subtle applewood aroma without being too heavy. Ash residue is moderate—not excessive, but you’ll still need to clean up after. It’s a great option for those who want an easy-to-use charcoal with a touch of natural wood flavor.

Good charcoal
Fired up some homemade teriyaki with this applewood charcoal, came out delicious. I believe the applewood added some aroma to the chicken itself.

OK
This product works well. Doesn't give to much of a taste as I expected. The product was mashed up a lot when I bought the product but it did work to use.

Easy to use
This past thanksgiving we tried this applewood charcoal for our ribs for the first time and they made a difference in the taste then the regular charcoal.
Use it as regular charcoal.

Fantastic choice for an amateur or a pro!
I recently tried Kingsford Charcoal with Applewood, and I have to say, it exceeded all my expectations. The combination of high-quality charcoal and the natural applewood infusion created a flavor profile that elevated my grilling experience to new heights.
First off, the charcoal lit easily and burned consistently, providing an even heat that made it perfect for both direct and indirect grilling. I appreciated how quickly it reached optimal cooking temperatures, allowing me to start grilling in no time.
What truly sets this product apart is the delightful aroma and flavor imparted by the applewood. As my meats cooked, the subtle sweetness from the applewood smoke infused into everything, from chicken to ribs, giving them a rich, savory taste that was truly memorable. It’s a wonderful choice for anyone looking to add a unique twist to their grilling.
The smoke produced was clean and not overpowering, which I found ideal for both delicate foods like fish and more robust options like steak. I also noticed that my vegetables took on a beautiful caramelization, enhancing their natural flavors without overshadowing them.
Cleanup was a breeze, as the ash produced was minimal compared to other brands I’ve used in the past. This made the overall grilling experience much more enjoyable, allowing me to focus on cooking and entertaining rather than worrying about the mess.
In summary, Kingsford Charcoal with Applewood is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to enhance their grilling game. Whether you’re a seasoned pitmaster or just starting out, this charcoal will not disappoint. It delivers on flavor, convenience, and quality—definitely a staple in my grilling arsenal from now on!

Fantastic
They make smoking on the grill great and smell fantastic. The smell is fragrant and you can even taste it on the food too. Super good and it’s the only one we ever purchase now.

Love the subtle hint of flavor
We love using the apple wood charcoal. It adds a subtle hint of flavor to the meat you are cooking. You almost wouldn't notice it except everything just suddenly tastes a bit more flavorful.
