Sneak Peek: New Kingsford Product Coming (pic)
As some of you may know, I was a guest at the Kingsford Invitational last
weekend. Among the festivities was the introduction of a new Kingsford product that will roll out early next year. They are called Smokehouse Style Briquets, and they are Kingsford's answer to chips and chunks. They are made entirely of flavor wood (hickory or mesquite) held together with a cornstarch binder. I'll be writing more about these in a forthcoming blog post, but I wanted to float it out here for discussion. John |

So are these comparable to Mojo Bricks? Or maybe more like the pucks for the Bradley Smokers?

John ~ are we to use in place of charcoal or as a compliment to charcoal? I'm a sticker burner using charcoal to start my fire ~ you think I would use this product instead?

Any idea why these would be used over real wood chunks?

I appreciate the idea, but I don't want to add these when I can just add wood chunks. What's the point of that? I see no benefit whatsoever. Maybe it's just me though.
What I WOULD like to see, and what I first thought this was, was charcoal briquettes made from the flavor woods, so just charred hickory or mesquite with a cornstarch binder. THAT I could definitely see a use for. Unless that's what their flavored briquettes already are...but I was under the impression that they had more than just cornstarch binder in them.

I deleted my original post aftering seeing these were not briquettes with wood, rather a replacement for real wood. No, I'd still not use these over real wood.

I could see the convenience factor for those that do not take the time to look for wood, or for whatever reason nobody in town sells bags of wood.

I might keep a bag on hand for mere conveniece. Same reason I have a gas grill hanging around.
There's a thought... will they fit in a smoke box for a gasser instead of chips?

i bet that folks will buy that thinking its normal charcoal. they will see the briquetts part and the kickory part and not read further. gonna really confuse folks for sure let alone tick many off.
