I don't, either.

I do, leave it right on the floor when you walk into the bbq isle.

 

[Jeff Boudman]

Thank goodness I buy all the charcoal - not my wife!

I tried the hickory charcoal on a whim. Don’t bother. I think that it’s just a sales gimmick. Burns fast, a lot of ash, and didn’t add anything to the flavor.

The flavor of charcoal is already where it is supposed to be. This is something that does not need to be "fixed"

I'm tempted to try it. It's basically incense for the griller. I can't see it adding much to the meat.

Maybe the Hari Krishnas will love it then.

I don't do Kingsford much if at all. Everything tastes like Kingsford charcoal when I use it. Not much influence from the wood. So, I'm out already.

I have to think that a company like Kingsford has researched the heck out of something like this, and wouldn't release it on a whim. That said, I'm not all that interested. Burning garlic and chili powder just doesn't sound appetizing to me.

You just summed up KF's total line. Sorry, had to go there. No flame wars. No harm intended to any KF fans.

It smelled nice while burning away into my neighbors yard. As stated added litter to zero flavor or smoke into my food.

It does burn hot and fast. However, Original Kingsford produced less ash by volume that Weber Hardwood Charcoal Briquettes, and that Weber charcoal as loved by all...especially when it dropped below $10 per bag at close-out.

Lots of folks toss a whole onion on the fire when smoking. This can't be that much different. It would be interesting to cook meat without a strong rub or seasoning and see if you can pick up any flavor.

Anyone want to test this?

I smell a new video, Mr. Admin! Maybe Kingsford will send you some for real world testing.

i toss fresh rosemary onto the coals when cooking chicken and sometime steaks. the flavor does impart onto the protein and the rosemary smell is present, in a nice way. i have not smoked with an onion on the coals though.

I use rosemary sprigs for lamb but, thyme for chicken. Never used an onion, worth a shot, one of these days.

I've been cooking onions with my rotisserie cooks and there's some benefit (imho)

As far as flavored charcoal goes... I've been buying Winco's brand charcoal ($6 for 18LBS) toss in a chunk of wood or two (usually Cherry) works for me
