Kingsford is the a best!!!!

If you're looking for the best flavor, then use Kingsford. This brand has been around since I was a child and my parents BBQ'd. I now use it for BBQ's with my family. We look forward to every summer season so we can whip out the grill and use our Kingsford Bricks to char delicious meals.

Unhappy

I've always used Kingsford, but will be looking for another brand. The briquets light quick, but they also burn quick. I don't remember ever having Kingsford burn this fast. As others have said, it's ok for weiners or a couple burgers, but for anything that takes longer to cook, you'll have to keep adding briquets to make the coals last. I'll be trying different brands in the hopes of finding something that lasts longer.

The gold standard for charcoal

I use KBB (KIngsford blue bag original charcoal) in my offset smoker, my drum (UDS) smoker, my Old Smokey grill and my Chargriller...pretty much everywhere you can use charcoal. It always burns the same, lights fast using a chimney and gives that great grilled flavor.

Top rated !

I use only Kingsford Charcoal and mostly the original. I have tried off brands / bargain brands, but as they say, "You get what you pay for." I try to stock up when some of the big box stores offer a 2 for special sale price and often it lasts me all season . . I mean I stock up to the tune of 20+ bags . . . I will never run out . . and I also use the Kingsford Brand lighter fluid. After trying so many others nothing beats Kingsford for fast lighting, heat and long lasting ! I 100% recomend the use of Kingsford.

Still Amazing

I have used your original charcoal since the age of nine and I'm 47 years old. Md Started me out on Kingsford. He swore by your brand and now I've started my own catering business and i swear by your brand to my employees as well. Keep up the good work and job well done.

quality of coals

I've used this product for years but recently, they've decided to be like the rest of great companies that went to the wayside and it now sucks...... i bought a bag of coals and had to use almost twice as much as they burned out very quickly. i was cooking chicken and had to add coals too many times, not like before. i want my money back.

reply from Kingsford Consumer Services

Hello, Chuck. We’re sorry to hear that your Kingsford Original Charcoal burned too fast. Be sure to take note that Kingsford with Sure Fire Grooves is ready to cook on in about 15 minutes. This is significantly less time than it takes all other charcoal available today to get ready to cook on. As a result, you will need to put the food on the grill earlier to take advantage of the extended cooking time that Kingsford charcoal with Sure Fire Grooves provides. We’d be happy to further assist you. Please give us a call at 800-232-4745 and use reference number: 170828-000239 for quick service. We look forward to chatting with you.

kingsford original charcoal

Only the best is used in my grill. I love the taste of kingsford, i dont use the charcoal with chips added because everything i put on the grill requires a different amount of smoke. I only use kingsford chips of course. While gas may be faster a true robust smoke flavor cannot be beat.

The Only Charcoal We'll Buy!

I'm not the grilling expert in our house (hubby does all that), but I can tell you that he almost refuses to use any other charcoal, and the food come out excellent each time, without a lot of effort lighting the grill or keeping it going at the right temp. Only charcoal I would recommend to anyone.

Best Dang Charcoal

My Dad has used Kingsford since I was a baby. I grew up on the best dang grill flavor you can ask for. I’m 37 and been grilling since I could stack a pyramid of black bliss! There is nothing that can grill food the way Kingsford does!!! Hail Charcoal and the Kingsford Family for giving my family some of the best nights outside!! Thank You!! God Bless!
