Kingsford Original Charcoal Briquets with Pecan, 16 Pounds

My husband and I are really enjoying this charcoal. As compared to the original Kingsford we find this one to be more smoky, woody, and nutty....in this most pleasant way. They're quick to heat up and the coals stay hot for more than enough time for us to cook all of our grill standards (BBQ chicken, burgers, hot dogs, steak, sausages, and corn on the cob). When the food is finished cooking, we've noticed that this charcoal imparts a really neat flavor on it. As I said, the best way I can describe it is smoky, woody, and nutty. You get a lot in the standard sized bag and we found the price to be fair for what you get. I also appreciated how durable the bag was - despite being shipped it arrived in perfect condition with no mess - no charcoal residue. I even felt comfortable leaving this bag in the living room for a couple days waiting for the weather to warm (a first for me as charcoal bags are usually a mess and stored only in the garage). We were surprised at these high end features from Kingsford which we've always considered a more affordable, down to Earth brand. Nice to see that they're now offering a luxury briquet without the luxury price tag. I received a sample of this product in exchange for my fair and unbiased opinion.

I used the Kingsford Pecan in my Masterbuilt Gravity Series 560 Smoker Grill and the results were amazing. The first thing I noticed with the Pecan charcoal briquets is they have wood inside the briquets. Lighting the Pecan briquets was easy and they didn't need to be relit later. You can definitely smell the pecan when the charcoal is burning. I cooked a brisket for over 14 hours and I still had a little than less than half a bag of charcoal to use. The pecan briquets held temp really even and didn't leave a lot of ash at the end of the cook. The pecan flavor definitely was infused into the brisket and you can tell by the smoke ring. The flavor of this brisket was way better than any other charcoal or lump that I have ever used. I'm not sure I will ever go back to regular briquets after using the Pecan briquets. This is a must-have for any backyard pit boss. I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion

We absolutely loved the pecan. These were very easy to light. They were ready to grill on in no time. We got a really good and smoky flavor. Just the right amount added to our meats. Coals burned evenly throughout the grilling process. Over all, a very pleasant cooking experience, we look forward to grilling some more.

Recently tried the Kingsford Pecan for the first time. Awesome! I really like the new flavored charcoals from Kingsford, but this is my favorite. I use it in my smoker with regular Kingsford to replace hardwood. It gives a wonderful flavor and aroma. I doubt I use regular charcoal ever again. I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion.

I've had extensive use of this charcoal and feel like there is a good pecan flavor that goes in our meats and vegetables when we grill. The charcoal is easy to use and absorbs well. It comes in a huge bag that has lasted us a few months so you get your money's worth. I would definitely recommend to others!

I put in a whole day of smoking with Kingsford Pecan charcoal. I threw in a 6 pound brisket, a chicken, some pork belly, Italian sausage, and two racks of ribs. I use a 22 inch Weber Smokey Mountain grill, which is perfect for large smokes. I really like the flavor profile that the Pecan gave to the food. The chicken was the best chicken I've ever smoked, flavor and texture wise. The brisket was perfect, too. The other items were just average I'd say, but still good. I really like Kingsford's line of charcoal. It was a cold day, so I had to use a whole bag of briquettes over 10 hours to keep the smoker at 225. It was a struggle all day because of the outside temp, even with the sun shining. I prefer winter smokes because it's easier to increase temp than to decrease it once overheated. I would absolutely buy this product again. I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion .

I am an avid griller and smoker, so I was very excited to try these charcoal briquettes. Typically, I grill meats with regular charcoal briquettes, and I smoke meats with hardwood chunks. I have now found the perfect product for in the middle those two cooking methods. These briquettes, although enhanced with Pecan wood, will not replace the robust taste of smoking with all lump hardwood, but I don't think that's what they were designed to do. Instead, these briquettes are excellent at adding additional flavor in those situations where you would have just used regular charcoal. I've found the best use of these briquettes is grilling steaks over direct heat. Again, the pecan flavor is mild, but it adds another layer of flavor to every meat that you grill. In my experience, chicken and beef absorbs the pecan flavor best. The great thing about these briquettes is that you get to use them just as you would use the regular briquettes. The light just as easily, and seem to get to the exact same temperature as the standard briquettes. The only real difference is added flavor. All in all, these briquettes won't replace my traditional briquettes, or my lump hard wood, but I am absolutely adding them to my grilling tool bag. And, I would recommend that anyone who wants a simple way to add subtle, but delicious, flavor do the same. In full disclosure, I did receive this item at a discounted price in exchange for my review.

I love that Kingsford Original Charcoal Briquets are made with Pecans and contain natural ingredients! We used it to smoke a turkey, they gave it a nice nutty flavor. They burn for a good amount of time which was nice. I definitely recommend trying it ti add some new flavors to your smoked meats.

I use the regular Kingsford charcoal when I normally grill out. This time I purchased the Pecan briquets. It was very easy to light, the charcoal was long lasting and the coals stayed very hot. I grilled steaks, pork chops and brats while trying this new charcoal flavor. It adds a smoked with a slight nutty pecan flavor to the meats but I wish it added just a little more pecan flavor than that. The flavor of grilled items was good with the subtle pecan flavor. The aroma in the air was very pleasant. I recieved this product in exchange for my honest review of it. I definitely would try the other flavors of these briquets in the future.

Was excited to find this with pecan. But when I opened the box the bag had been torn open and re taped up before shipping. This stuff should be sold in the store at a discount not shipped to customers who are expecting to be buying undamaged goods. Was not a happy customer.
