We always buy Kingsford. When we visit family at the lake cabin, my husband and I are in charge of grilling. There's an ongoing feud between the neighbors and us regarding which makes the better burger - gas or charcoal - and the charcoal wins hands down every time.

As long as I've known Kingsford been a product that's been use in our family for grilling since I've been old enough to know about grilling. My dad used it, and every cookout we had by family and friends, Kingsford has been the one use for cookouts. Now as a adult that's the go to product I use for grilling for meats, vegetables, and seafood, it's the best!

My husband loves to BBQ. He sent me to the store for charcoal and I got a cheap bag of charcoal because it was on sale AND BOY WAS HE MAD! My husband sent me back to the store and said " I better not come back with anything but Kingsford original unless I didn't want to eat. Kingsford is the best!

I have used your product for many years but have noticed in the past 2 years it is not the same! To get it up to cooking temperature I have to take my lawn blower to it. And then it does not last very long. In the mean time I bought another brand that burns just like the old Kingsford. You must have changed the formulation to maintain margin.

Often times I meet with friends who try to use knock-off brand of briquets to cook with and are faced with disastrous and humorous results. Either they can't get it to light or it puts an awful taste into the food on the grill. Want it right? Stick with the name that gives consistent and dependable results....Kingsford Original.

I bought this charcoal and at first was sadly disappointed. It seemed like it burned way to fast and too hot. Then I figured out that if I simply reduced the air flow, whether on the grill or smoker- it works great!!!! Unless I am fighting the wind, I use 1/2 as much charcoal as I used to for smoking. I did large event at our house and smoked 2 pork butts and then 2 briskets, using just short of 3 -16lb bags over a total of about 32 hours total cooking time. I will NEVER buy anything else.

I have tried other brands over the years, and finally came to the conclusion that for me there is nothing better than Kingsford for my smoking and barbecue! A dependable product that burns evenly every single time with no char taste. Keep up the good work Kingsford!

I have been using this brand for a long time and have spent alot of money in the last few months i have purchased some really poor quality charcoal and fluid . The charcoal taking longer than normal to light and fluid that wont even start the coals its like water so ive gone out and purchased other brands.

we had a weekend get together...just simple...burgers and hot dogs....we drank some beer and played some yard games...and 3 hrs later our guest wanted to eat again.... I didnt have to restart our even add to the grill it was still hot...I was amazed... kingsford was the champ for feeding our hungry guest TWICE !!!

I have been using Kingsford for over 25 years. I use Kingsford because I have found it to be the most consistent charcoal on the market. Lights fast, especially in a chimney starter. I have learned how to control the heat to get the best results grilling or BBQing. I have cooked burgers, salmon, and spit roast pigs, all using Kingsford.
