Rated 5 out of 5 by from Tasty I didn't know that pellets could be seasoned like this. It gave all the meat a nice smoky flavor, especially in chicken. It smelled so good the entire time it was smoking and put out lots of smoke. Definitely going to keep using this and look into the other flavors.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to use I got the Kingsford Signature Flavor Pellets. They were easy to use. After I got the coals hot, I added the pellet packet to the coals. The pellet packet is aluminum foil folded enclosing the pellets inside with holes poked in the foil on one side. It was easy to add the flavor to the food on the grill this way.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome!! These flavor pellets are great! They smell delicious and add a really great flavor to the food. It’s super different than the standard wood flavor. I love how the additional spice flavors work with the meat. I will be using these a lot!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Smell amazing These pellets smell heavenly. But, I can’t detect any cumin or chili flavor imparted to the meat at all. I’ve done a tritip and a brisket with them so far and can’t taste the cumin or chili. They are however a very good quality pellet that does give a great smoke flavor. All in all, just for the smell of them and the quality of smoke I’m still going to get them again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Gives food a great flavor My husband and I don’t own a pellet grill but you CAN use this product with a charcoal grill. There are directions in the back of the bag that tell you how to use this product for different types of grills. We actually mixed these flavor pellets with the charcoal (this is before we actually read the directions) and proceeded to light the grill. That was probably a mistake because wow, the entire street was smoky. The house across the street thought that our house was on fire but our food ending up tasting great! The next time we used our grill we actually followed the directions on the package which say to put the pellets in foil and poke holes in the top and then place the packet on top of the charcoal so that turned out so much better and smoke was minimal. This is a large bag that will last through quite a few outdoor grillings. Food does have a very unique taste that’s delicious. These pellets definitely have a nice aroma and is a product that we’d purchase again.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great flavor! I got these pellets for my grill about a month ago,, just too try something new. The cumin/chili flavor in the Kingsford - Signature Flavor Pellets has just the right amount of spiciness to add flavor to the meat I'm grilling. I've tried them with chicken breasts I grilled a week ago, and again last night with some burgers. I'm looking forward to trying some other flavors offered by Kingsford.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love the flavor I have never owned a smoker but when I saw these pellets as a option to try with my gas grill I thought I would try it out. I followed the directions and made a foil pouch for the pellets . My first try I fried up some burgers on the grill and I purposely did not use any seasoning to see if I could notice the difference. I was pleasantly surprised and I really enjoyed the flavor. I am excited to try other meats an fish and vegtables and I will look for other flavor options.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great flavors My son loves to grill. Every Sunday he grills steaks and chicken. He used the Cumin chili charcoal last week, and we had the best meal ever. It flavored the meat so well. I am going to buy the other flavored charcoal for him

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Smells great We love sitting around the fire pit, and just recently started grilling on it. Adding some Signature Flavor Pellets, Cumin, Chili flavor makes it smell great & the food gets a nice taste too. Love that spicy smell as it burns with the coals & wood. It even gave roasting marshmallows a little hint of spice. I bet the neighbors were smelling & jealous of our cooking.
