Rated 3 out of 5 by from Not bad. I recently had a BBQ and I used Kingsford Singanature Flavors Flavor Boosters, Memphis BBQ and it was pretty good. It gave my meat an extra smoky flavor to it which I liked a lot. It's wasn't what I expected flavor wise but I will definitely give the other flavors a try.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wow!! I didn't have high expectations for this to actually make a difference. But I have to say I'm shocked. It really worked! It really changed the flavor of our food! It was unbelievable! We used it like we would use regular charcoal and it enhanced the flavor of our hotdogs and burgers. It tasted amazing. I would love to try other flavors and would 100% buy again!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Add pep to your grill The Kingsford Memphis BBQ flavor charcoal was a great time. Easy to light, and stayed burning for a very long time. The smell of the spices were very apparent, and added great flavor to my protein. I still suggest seasoning your protein with the same or similar spices in it like garlic, paprika, and rosemary. I've never seen anything quite similar on the market. Overall, a fun and tasty experience!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very good I bbq some chicken. These were very good. They had a good smell fresh out of the bag. They lit real easy with the regular charcoal and lasted for a very long time. I cooked for about an hour and half and they never broke apart only got a little smaller. You could taste the flavor in the meat. It had a nice rustic taste really giving it a smokey taste.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great flavor I typically don't do charcoal because the flavor is bleh. That was not the case in this instance. I can't wait to try the other flavors. I will never use the liquid smoke before trying this again. The only drawback is that the chips burn up really quickly, not affording you much cooking time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing The Midwest weather finally had a warm period, so I was able to grill over Super Bowl Weekend which was perfect. We naturally season our meats, so I wasn’t sure how it was going to be using a flavor booster, but WOW the extra boost of flavors was perfect, it wasn’t overpowering but gave the perfect boost to our meats. I used this on my Charcoal grill. First I added my charcoal, fired up the grill as I normally do and then I added about seven of the boosters on top of my charcoal and waited about fifteen minutes for the boosters as well as my charcoal to be ready to cook on. Shortly after adding them, you can already smell the extra spices in the air making your stomach rumble for what you know is going to be a good meal. We used it while grilling Ribs, chicken, burgers corn and hot dogs, Everything tasted flavorful and great. We use Kingsford as our go to charcoal and it’s a company and product we can proudly stand by in our family, But now we will make sure to add the Flavor boosters to our shopping list for anytime we grill. The whole family enjoyed the meal. Don't just take my word for it, give it a try, you won't regret it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Tasted so good This flavor booster did exactly the job that it was supposed to. It made my chicken taste so much more flavorful than normal charcoal alone does. I will definitely be buying this again and enjoyed it greatly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great grilling addition Kingsford has long been my grilling go to for charcoal and lighter fluid. I was excited to see this new product of flavor boosters and wanted to give them a try. Very simple to use, adding to the mix after charcoal is lit. When I looked at the pairing guide on the bag, it goes well with so many types of meat plus vegetables. My choice for testing was chicken. The flavor addition from the boosters is noticiable and a great addition to, in this case, chicken. I will be getting some to gift around Father’s Day and add another flavor or two to my grill tests. Very happy with this product.
