Kingsford "Flavored" Briquettes

[bajatodd]

First Post to the forums but have been a reader for 5 or so years.  Looking to get some of your takes on the Kingsford briqs that have mesquite or hickory smoke in them. I know most are a loyal to lump or Kingsford blue with wood but has anyone used these in combo with other woods (apple, cherry) and had success or should I just stick with the tried and true blue? 

Appreciate any input.

Thanks,

Hello Bajatodd - I've used the flavored Kingsford on my grill but never in my smoker - it's electric. It was ok but we just stick with Kingsford Blue.

I see this is your first post, how about swinging by Roll Call and introducing yourself so we can give you a proper SMF Welcome?

Would you also update your profile to include a location? It helps folks when answering questions to know what part of the world you are in.

Thanks!

Thats what I figured. it's more aimed at the grilling audience and not for long smokes. I heeded your words and posted over in the Roll Call Forum. 

Thanks,

Stick with Kingsford Blue Bag, and just add wood chunks. The "flavored" stuff burns wierd and seems to produce more ash.
