Even heating for consistent cooking

We always choose Kingsford Original and always get good results! The briquettes seem to burn more evenly than other brands making consistent cooking possible.

It is what the other brands are measured against

Good stuff, though the cost keeps going up faster than I can keep track of. Twin packs used to be 44 pounds, now they are 32 or 33 pounds I think? I always buy a year's supply from Home Depot or Lowes every Memorial Day weekend.

Cooking to perfection

We only use Kingsford Charcoal. We will not use anything else. We grill year round. Its hard to find charcoal in the winter so we make sure to stock up.

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!

Censoring Reviews?

I am a longtime user of Kingsford Original, and I wrote a long, detailed review of your product. When I went to confirm it via the email you sent...it said "404 Incinerated." I guess you did not want to post what I had to say.

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!

Best in the west

We cook on the grill 5 out of 7 days. Love the way it makes the food taste. Its not like the other brands. I like the original charcoal cause it seems to last longer so if we cook dinner we can still have dessert.
