Rated 5 out of 5 by from Adds Great Flavor! We have always used Kingsford Charcoal for grilling so I was very excited to try the Bourbon BBQ Briquets and Flavor Boosters. The charcoal was quick to light and produced a sweet smell as it burned. It gave our steak and chicken an amazing flavor! I will not go back to using the regular charcoal and highly recommend the Kingsford Bourbon BBQ to anyone who would like an easy way to add flavor to your meats!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good product I’m glad I got to try the charcoal flavor booster. I cooked my chicken on the grill using the bourbon bbq flavor, and I could definitely taste a difference from when I use regular charcoal. Made my chicken a lot better with a lot more flavor!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great for Smoking These are quick alternative for a charcoal smokers. Instead of having to setup the charcoal with chunks of wood buried, you can just pour the Kingsford Bourbon BBQ charcoal right in the smoker and light it up. Flavor and smell is amazing. Highly recommend as a quick alternative to a tradition charcoal smoking setup!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Adds great flavor to BBQ! The flavor this charcoal added to my meat was a pleasant surprise. Make sure to follow the instructions on the back for best practice. I plan to continue buying this product for the rest of my cookouts!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Taste! What a great idea! The charcoal is infused with flavor, which then is imparted to the meat! We have a charcoal smoker, we loaded it up with tri tip, pork ribs, and fish. The charcoal is easy to light and has a long burn time. This is great with a charcoal smoker, as it cooks slowly over a longer period. The charcoal has a wonderful sweet and BBQ smoked scent, I knew that it was going to taste great! Instead of using rubs and brines on your meat for flavor, these briquets take care of that! Once you use these, you won't want to go back to regular charcoal!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works great and tastes great! These briquets worked well, were easy to light and I especially liked the flavor enhanced briquets which you could see when loading the grill. The briquets gave us a clean burning smoke that truly enhances the flavor of our meat. It's really a great product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to Use and Elevates Grilling Experience Kingsford has been my go to for grilling charcoal for as long as I can remember. My parents used to use this brand when we went camping and would cook with a charcoal grill. Over the years, I stayed with this trusted brand, and have loved the different charcoal products they have released. One new charcoal product that they released and that I am loving is their Kingsford® Signature Flavors Charcoal Briquets and Flavor Boosters — Bourbon BBQ. What sets this grilling charcoal apart from other charcoal is that it is pre-mixed with flavor boosters, which when heated release a steady flavor for a wonderful grilling experience. Paired well with ribs, beef and even pork and lamb, the Kingsford® Signature Flavors Charcoal Briquets and Flavor Boosters — Bourbon BBQ is a must have on hand for charcoal grilling lovers. It is easy to use and provides top-shelf flavor from your grilling experience. I am loving using this product each and every time I grill outdoors. And, I am making sure I stock up and have on hand when camping this summer. It smells great and elevate my grilling experience. Highly recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Smell is great I love the smell of bbq in the backyard and when we use this it amplifies it every more. It doesn’t smell like burning but smells of actual food being cooked. It also makes the food taste a bit better in my opinion. This is best for your traditional hamburgers, hot dogs, and steak. My mom also uses it when she’s making traditional Pakistani food. She will put one inside of some tinfoil then put it in the pot while simmering. It gives it amazing aroma! I recommend it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great smoky flavor! I was given this to review by TryIt Sampling. What I received was a bag of Kingsford charcoal briquettes in flavor Bourbon Barbecue. Even though it is winter here in Maine and very cold out we just had to break out the grill and throw a couple steaks on. The chef in charge of the grill absolutely loved these briquettes. He said that once he added the fire to the briquettes it didn’t take long for the charcoal to light up and burn and it also burned very evenly. We threw the steaks on the grill and when cooking was done, we ended up with steaks that hinted of just a slight bourbon flavor, that was ever so incredibly delicious. Not overpowering at all. Hands down the entire family was very satisfied with how great they tasted. These charcoal briquettes have certainly earned a place in our summer time grilling plans. And yes even in winter time grilling.
