Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome on Chicken! Kingsford scores again with the Signature Flavors Briquets. All of their flavors sound so good it was hard to choose but have been craving Mexican and the Cumin Chili Briquets hit the spot. Easy to light, ready quickly and the bag holds enough for at least two grilling sessions. The flavor imparted was really good! Next time I'm grilling pork.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Product I received this product and I was very interested to see how it would taste. We grilled some chicken. It added to flavor of the chicken nicely. I plan to use it when I cook hamburgers, ribs and steak.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Flavourful These are unique to say the least and I was slightly skeptical at first, but kingsford really out did themselves with these signature flavor. The aroma and added flavor to the food is nothing short of perfection. Still burns great and long lasting.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wonderful tasting These Kingsford briquets make grilling so much better, with the savory and smoky flavor of the cumin chili, it’s makes our hamburgers, chicken and steaks taste so good with every bite. This gives grilling a whole better tasting for any meat you put on the grill.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from These are great It just me and my husband and we always like to try new things especially if it has to do with grilling and food. And we tried these they actually gave our steaks a nice hint of the chili and cumin so we tried it out on chicken next and instead of plain boring tasting chicken it again had a nice hint of the flavor. We like it so much that we are going to buy some other flavor plus this flavor next month to try it out. So I really and truly recommend you all trying this out

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Cool idea! These briquettes are a cool idea! Already seasoned, they impart a flavored smoke into your food. I used it with grilled chicken & the flavor is subtle, but delicious! I would definitely purchase these again and in other flavors!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Product These pellets are amazing and the smoke smelled so good on the grill. The flavor is great and not too overpowering. They also last long and do not burn out as quickly as the olthers i have tried so far. Great product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great taste I got this charcoal a few days ago and had family from out of town we used it and cooked deer burgers on grill it was awesome. I liked that you could tell it had a different taste than normal charcoal I could taste the mesquite wood in it. I’ll say overall it tasted better than when you use plain charcoal I would definitely buy this again.
