Am I permitted to use flavored charcoal briquettes  for my barbecue? If the flavor is just a regular   wood type flavor like hickory or mosquite, those  are not a problem at all. Those just refer to the   type of wood. There is no actual added flavor.  If it's a wine flavor, that could present the   problem because not only is one not allowed  to drink non-kosher wine, but also one is not   allowed to derive benefit from it as well. Often  times, it can have wood chips which come from old   wine barrels. They will actually take the wine  barrel, they'll chop it up into little pieces,   and they'll sell wood chips that have wine flavor  in them that people can use for barbecuing,   and that should be avoided. But again, if  it's just a regular wood flavor, that's fine.
