Great brand

Always a great product. Wish I would have priced before purchasing it from Sam’s. Went to Kroger the next day and they had it for $1.00 cheaper per bag.

Show location

The product itself is classic American style charcoal. Works flawlessly! My issue was I had to ask somebody where it was located. So many stores now number their isles and guide you to the product through the app. Not so at same club. I find that frustrating.

    Hot and lasts long

    I had stopped buying Kingsford charcoal for a while because they didn’t last long and didn’t provide much heat but they must have gone back to their previous production because they now last longer and hotter as before.

    Great product and great price

    I buy Kingsford charcoal because it burns evenly and doesn't burn out too fast. I won't use any other charcoal brand and Sam's Club has the best price.

    Works great in a smoker

    They light well in a starter chimney. Burn hot and long if enough are used. A couple work great in a can of smoker pellets to get them going and keep them going without a blow torch or other weird methodology.

    These two bags were bigger than most other places have and they also had an instant savings as well. Great buy!
