The ridge design helps light faster in the chimney starter. The flavor imparted by the wood mixed in add so much. Thanks for being #1 charcoal of choice.

I have tried the "bargain" charcoal before and I never will again because Kingsford Original is a LOT more reliable. Don't waste your time buying anything else, I promise!

My family and I have been using this brand for years now and its the best. There is no charcoal tastes and it burns really well. I recommend Kingsford to everyone.

My favorite! easy to light (chimney starter). always gives me great flavor... Ive been using it for the last 15 years... sold my gas grill at a garage sale and bought a Weber kettle... best choice ive ever made...

They burn up to ashes in no time some have paper or wood chips in them I have to always add more briquettes before finishing one rack of chix and pork chops... very dissatisfied

I buy soooo much of this charcoal all the time because it makes your meat taste the best, There is no other charcoal that can stand up to this charcoal. I would not buy any other kind of charcoal

I now know why my grandfather and my father used Kingford. When I moved out on my own, I tried all the other Charcoal brands. Now I only buy Kingsford, you get what you pay for with Kingsford. Only The Best, will do for my family.

I only buy this product. Its like its not a true barbecue unless we use kingsford. Its like the coke of the summer. You just have to have it. Never been disappointed. I will never use another product, cause I choose not to be disappointed.

I never had a problem lighting these briquettes, and it helps the flavor of my food taste great every time i grill. I'm never going back to cheap charcoal again!

Kingsford is the only brand we buy. We have tried others (trying to save a couple of dollars) and are never happy. Food ends up tasting like ashes when using a brand other than Kingsford. Yuck.
