Kingsford Garlic, Onion & Paprika charcoal?

Botch

 
Yeah, its a thing.  It is available in 2-lb bags so I'll give it a try, if/when I see it.  
 
EDIT:  I guess they also offer a Chile/Cumin blend, and Basil/Sage/Thyme.

Weird, let us know how it turns out!

It's great on a sandwich.

They sound more like Potato Chip Flavors, not charcoal.  

I am intrigued!

Charcoal is the middleman, not the flavor maker

What next??  @Botch - hope you are successful in your find.  Need a review

I’m thinking I need a collection of eggs with these flavors baked into the ceramic.

My Home Depot has it on the shelf.  $13.98 for a 12# bag.  I’m sure it will sell fast! LOL

I see that the GOP blend also has hickory wood, The CC blend has mesquite, and the BST blend has oak wood.

It's not unusual to use fresh herb sprigs tossed on the fire to add smoke/flavor nor unusual to soak things like whole cloves or allspice or cinnamon sticks on the fire. Citrus peels on the fire are also a thing. It's not unheard of to toss coffee grounds on the fire, however, as I can't stand coffee I've never had any coffee grounds to try that with.

Their new charcoal blends might be interesting/tasty or it could be total crap. I too vote for @Botch to be the guinea pig.

Can’t believe how fast Home Depot has been increasing the prices in the BBQ isle. The Twin bag of Kingsford blue went up $2 today ($21.98).  One smoker they had went from $749 to $849.  

I bought some precut 92 5/8 studs in November for $3.48 each.  Today they are $6.98.  Had planned to build a 10x16 “cook shed” this spring, and doubt lumber prices will come down anytime soon.

Waiting for the Buffalo wing flavored charcoal.

I do not see any good reason to purchase some of this, even to try it.

And you consider yourself a man of science. 🤔

Does this fall into the "scented toilet paper" category?

I’m waiting on scented Rockwood.

An important part of being a scientist is having the judgment to know which projects not to pursue.

I think this just means there are no grants to study kingsford scented charcoal.

Can you just eat the charcoal?

dip in Ranch maybe?

On the contrary, there are, they’re just SUPER competitive.

I've heard of putting charcoal in rub but not rub in charcoal.

Example: Gunpowder(tm)

I would think the GOP blend would be full of spray on tan, hair dye, and bulls***.
