ready to go quickly

been using Kingsford for quite awhile...using a chinney starter, I'm ready to go in a maximum of 20 minutes. Charcoal lasts a long time as a bonus. In a Weber water smoker...the charcoal lasts between 6 and HOURS.

Do not like new version of kingsford charcoal.

The new version is ready faster but burns up way to fast. By the time it's white it's burnt up. I have used kingsford for over 15 years and I'm looking for a new brand.

Very disappointed

I have used these briquettes for a very long time. Recently the. last 2 bags i purchased wouldn’t stay lit. I don’t know if they changed something or not but never had this problem before.

Quick charcoal

I usually keep a few 16 or 20 pound bags on hand and BBQ a few times a week even during the winter. You can always count on Kingsford to be ready quick.

Got a bad bag

You were my go to product. I swore by it but for the first time my matchlight didn't light. I had to abort my grilling session. It was a brand new bag. What happened? ???

Cheapened Product

You have revised the manufacturing of this product so it no longer long lasting. It is very disappointing....it appears the mix has changed and the briquets have gotten smaller so now much more charcoal is required to accomplish the same result.

Steady Heat

Kingsford is a staple in my household. It has been ever since my family began to compete in BBQ. No other charcoal stands up to Kingsford in heat, lighting, or taste.

The Best

I've tried a lot of different kinds of charcoal and Kingsford is the best. You cant beat the uniformity and long burn time. I wont waste my time with anything else. A+

A Classic!

The only brand I can count on. Have never had issues with Kingsford, where there's often issues with the other charcoal brands. Was raised on Kingsford and so have my kids. Just a dependable brand for great grilling.
