Flavored charcoal?

January 4, 2022, 06:05 PM

I guess it was only a matter of time. I don't see the flavors making it to the food, but the briquettes might smell good while you're cooking. Has anyone tried these, and if so, would you try them again?

It's a little surprising seeing an industry leader resorting to something as gimmicky as this. Nope.
