Rated 5 out of 5 by from Can you say flavor? These briquettes smell yummy before they are even lit. Once lit and ready to use, they give off a lovely smoke of flavor. We put a pork loin, a chicken and pork chops on the grill and let the smoke and flavor infuse into the meat. That is exactly what we were expecting. So delicious our meats were!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Makes the food extra flavored I used this on the grill to cook chicken and let me tell you it was amazing. It was a hit for the whole family. It's like it seasoned the chicken with the spices. The extra flavor it has added to chicken makes it to where you do not have to use as much seasoning. The briquets burned easily and stayed lite the whole time I was using the grill.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice little change I didn’t think much of the flavor infused charcoal. The idea sounded intriguing but would it really work? And it does! It’s not overwhelming where you have to worry if it will completely change the meat. It’s just a hint of spices that seem to blend well together and get slightly absorbed into the meat. It definitely smells much better than normally grilling.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Smells great Very interesting product, I am not sure if it really added an extra depth of flavor in the steaks I made using this Charcoal. It sure did smell great while burning though. I definitely will give it a try again, maybe smoke some chicken with it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great taste! Kingsford is on to something with these flavored charcoal briqutes. I opted for the basil, sage, thyme and oakwood flavor. I've tried them while cooking chicken and it came out with a delicious flavor. I love the time release flavor it makes me feel comforted knowing that not burning all the flavor out while heating the grill up. I need to try all the flavors this summer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Smells and tastes great While cooking, the smell of the basil, sage, and thyme was great. It was a very pleasant aroma. The flavoring was, also, just enough to give the burgers an extra hint of flavor. I truly liked this new product and would give it 5 stars. Try it— I think you will be pleased!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Adds great flavor I cook with regular briquettes normally but chose basil, sage and thyme this time. It added a very nice extra flavor. It was not to strong actually just right. They burned well and evenly cooked our chicken quarters. I can't wait to cook some steak next time.
