Please post your opinion on them.
Did they work well?
How was the flavor?
Will you be using them again?

No flavor really, but the BTU benefit is great for grilling. Especially this time of year I would suggest maybe mixing them in with your favorite pellets 40/60 or so is the sweet spot in my opinion... you get your pellet wood flavor and reliable BTU for even temps.

If you go only charcoal pellet, the only advantage is they won't be affected by humidity/moisture.

I used them mixed with regular pellets on my old Camp Chef and didn't see any benefit to them in flavor. YMMV.

I've got some charcoal/mesquite pellets I plan to use for grilling...I'm doing steaks on them tonight, so I'll report back.

Look forward to your report. Thanks

bbqLuv The charcoal / mesquite did their job admirably! I think most of the flavor was from the mesquite, though...you could smell the charcoal while it was cooking, but I didn't get much charcoal flavor in the steaks. Might've just been overpowered by the mesquite though. OTOH, the charcoal really amped up how hot the grill could get...with my usual hickory oak blend, my grill tops out around 430F, but I was getting up to 470F or so with the charcoal mesquite.
