this name brand stands alone..

we purchased a very expensive smoker and we only want to use the best briquets out there. kingsford is the top of the line. we are so satisfied of how kingsford works for our smoker. we would never use another charcoal.

Way better than generic

I made the mistake of buying a store brand and it was already burning out before I could get the steaks on. Had to go back to the store and grab a bag of Kingsford!

Great BBQ

These are the best briquettes. We buy them all the time. We can always feel confident that they will light and stay lit. My husband cooks outside even in winter, weather permitting.

Best charcoal ever.

I have tried many brands of charcoal and nothing comes close to the quality of Kingsford charcoal. Kingsford charcoal is great for grilling and smoking different types of meats. I would recommend this product to all my friends.

Smells like the garbage dump

Kingsford briquettes used to be really sweet smelling and produced excellent BBQ. In the past 3 or more years, Kingsford briquettes have a similar odor to a garbage dump that is burning garbage. Please,. return to the original formula!

Tired of being ripped off!

A loyal Kingsford customer for 40+ years, but no longer. Bag shrinks, price increases, filler increases. Burns cooler and faster, generating tremendous amounts of ash with each cook. Leaves chicken with a hint of Pine taste. Come on, now!
