Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love the flavor! We love to grill our food using our pellet grill and we always use flavored pellet to make our food even taste better. This is a really good pellet. We all love the Bourbon BBQ flavor. It taste and smells really good. We don’t need to put any more spices on our food aside from salt and pepper because this pellet gives it a good BBQ flavor.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Bring down the meat! Barbecuing is something my husband enjoys so much so he considers himself pretty good at it. I got this bourbon pellet for him to try and it doesn't disappoint! He has been enjoying his time and constantly checking and comment how the meat will turn out to be so good. And it did! It gives a good smoke flavor that I haven't smelled in our meats before. Needless to say, we had been barbecuing and bringing on more meats and sharing some with out neighbors who thought the aroma is soo good!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great smoky flavor and jam free Kingsford brand is famous with charcoal product. This signature hardwood pellet won’t dissapoint either. I select for bourbon bbq flavor. Size wise, this pellet generally cut short/small size which is ideal to prevent the pellet getting stuck on the auger. The smoke flavor is wonderful, very woody and there is no noticeable plastic smell. It produced enough smoke without being overly smoky. The best of all is it turn any meats into smoky and delicious flavor. Ash left over tend to be low to normal. I highly recommended.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great flavor enhancer! These Kingsford pellets gave our chicken and pork an added layer of flavor. We specifically tried two batches, one we seasoned as usual and one that we left more natural so we could really taste the bourbon smokiness. Happily, it really came through in both finished products.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Kingsford Pellets I would like to start by saying that I do not have a pellet smoker, but I sprinkled some of these over charcoal in my smoker and they worked amazingly. The flavor it gave my ribs was like no other. The smoke was not to much but just the right amount and the bag they are packaged in is thick and tough I don't have to worry about the bag tearing but it is easy to open.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Can’t recommend enough! First time using these Kingsford brand pellets, but definitely won’t be the last. The scent alone from the bourbon bbq is amazing but it also left such a good flavor on the meat that complimented the Smokey flavor as well.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Burns well, interesting flavor This is the first time I have used Kingsford pellets on my Traeger. I am not disappointed, they burn very well and they do infuse the flavor very well into the meats. The bourbon is not my favorite flavor but everyone else seemed to love it

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Taste!! We love to use our smoker. Summer or Winter, we are using it! We have 'garage parties' all the time and do different meats. These pellets have an amazing taste added to the meat. They don't smoke too much or too little. Absolutely perfect in our opinion.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Recommend I used this on my big green egg. I love the hint of flavor and smoke it provided. It was just right and not overpowering. The ingredient list is straight basic and to the point didn't see any fake additives.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from These Make Tastey BBQ I recently received the Kingsford® Signature Flavors Hardwood Pellets in Bourbon BBQ flavor and I have to say, I am extremely impressed. The pellets are made of 100% natural hardwood and have a bold and smoky flavor that really enhances the taste of my BBQ. I've used them in my pellet grill and have gotten great results every time. One of the things I love most about these pellets is the convenience factor. They come in a bag that is easy to store and transport, and they burn consistently, which means I don't have to worry about babysitting the grill. Overall, I would highly recommend the Kingsford® Signature Flavors Hardwood Pellets in Bourbon BBQ flavor to any BBQ enthusiast. They add a delicious flavor to any grilled food and make grilling a breeze.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Not bad Pellet are decent pellet as far as quality, not too much saw dust and decent size solid pellets compared to others. Flavor was good but nothing that really stood out was hoping for a little more flavor compared to others I have used. Overall pretty decent I would probably get again or even try one of their other flavors.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Must have for great smokey flavor When grilling the seasoning of the meat is key but how it is cooked is just as important. Kingsford has long been my go to for grilling charcoal. Now the flavored hardwood pellets have taken my grilled meats to a whole new level. You can smell the flavor in the wood so you can only imagine how well they will smoke the meat and add deliciousness to the flavor. If you are serious about flavor you must add the Signature Flavors Hardwood Pellets.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love them This is my first time using wood pebbles, and I must say they work perfectly. They give the meat great flavor and it’s easy to burn and it gives it a lot of smoke inside my smoker. I highly recommend you these.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Taste amazing I am a smoker fanatic. Never tried this flavor before now. It gave just the right rich amount of flavor. I love that it works with any smoker and you get a great amount to use more than once. Will definitely try again this week. Loved it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it. Silver Christmas I got myself a smoker that uses wood pellets, and decided I would like to try to smoke some ribs and I used this product and it came out amazing. I have used other pellets before that have been good but in the limited time I’ve had my smoker. This is given the best results. Can’t wait to try the different types that Kingsford makes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect pellets for smoking These Bourbon BBQ pellets brought so much additional flavor to the prime rib and brisket I smoked. It not only added the advantage of burning at consistent temperatures but it truly enhanced the flavor of the meats (not overpowering just perfect!) Specifically the Bourbon BBQ complimented the type of meats I smoked. I almost felt bad for my surrounding neighbors having to smell the pungent aromatic of the bbq smoke. Unlike other traditional brands, Kingsford wood pellets is excellent in quality and value. I can’t wait to try this flavor on burgers next. Highly recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Brings a great flavor We used the Kingsford Signature Bourbon BBQ Pellets in a smoker. The taste was so good, just a hint of the bourbon bbq flavor. The pallet is a bigger size than others but that had no effect on the smoker's performance. It did burn a bit faster than what normally is a pallet an hour in our smoker, but that is probably due to the freezing temperature. I would absolutely buy this and recommend it to all of my friends.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Most amazing taste ever from my pellet grill! I bought these to try out my new pellet grill. I can't believe the difference in the taste of my steaks now. Everyone said these steaks cooked in these Kingsford Signature Pellets are by far the best steaks they've ever eaten in their life! I agree and I earned bragging rights to my steaks thanks to these pellets! Everything tastes better now. I'll never use any other pellets. These are the premium pellets I've been looking for!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Smoking pellets Great pellets at a reasonable price. They burn nice and slow and leave a good bbq flavor on meets and vegetables. I used them with a Boston butt and was very pleased. Get you some. You won’t regret it
