Rated 3 out of 5 by from Nice idea, performance lacking…. I have used this product several times now over the course of the last month or so in my char-griller smoker. I like the idea of applewood or cherry wood embedded into the charcoal. It SOUNDS like an idea that should work well. The problem I run into is that as the charcoal - which does light very easily - is first lit, it produces copious amounts of smoke, but by the time I have my bed of coals and am ready to lay meat in the smoker (I use an offset smoker box), the flavored smoke is largely gone; I might as well be using standard charcoal and laying the flavored wood on top, or just using flavored wood lumps instead of charcoal briquettes. As I said, it’s a nice idea. It provides nice heat, but very little of the smoke I need.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I really like this I really like this brand charcoal. We grill a few times a week all year long. The cherry is awesome in the smoker, great flavor and even heat. I really wish I could get it in hundred pound totes though. Wouldn't that be nice!? Never run-out and never be damp.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from We use a lot We use a lot of cherry wood when grilling, so we thought we'd give this a try. We were not disappointed. It's very flavorful. Easier than using charcoal and wood chunks. And to be honest, it smells great when burning. We get compliments from our neighbors that it smells amazing whenever we grill out.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from We love using this We love using this during the summer when we decided to slow cook on the grill. It gives the food such a nice extra flavor and we just love the smell of it. A great product the packaging is durable and holds up after several use. We love using this brand for any of our back yard grilling.
