re: Has anyone here tried that flavored Kingsford charcoal yet?

You know charcoal comes from wood, right?

Why yes I do, but wood doesn’t have spices that you burn to get flavor into meat or veg. If you want to do that, then try rubbing or brining or sous vide to introduce those flavors throughout the meat. Even smoking only really hits the outside, thus the smoke ring, and it takes time to achieve that. All you’re really doing is wasting money, but hey, that’s why marketing departments exist. It works.
