i have recently chaged my cooking style and charcoal to adapt to my new venture.being a comp bbq cook and being being dedicated to lump(royal oak),converting to grills and sml. smoker as to the bigboy.Kingsford allows me the very best in maintainng temp. i can actually tell you how many coals for extended periods ect. It allows me to really dial in my temp.perfect..Although it does not burn as hot as lump,I am now comitted to Kingsford,also went with a Kingsford grill(dual zone) and lovin it....................bbqdave..

We like the original charcoal because we like to add our own seasons. We once needed charcoal on a last minute's notice and the mini grocery store only carried another brand. It wasn't even worth it...we could have cooked the steak in a pan and it would have been better than that charcoal. We now always buy only Kingsford!! We only grill with charcoal...no gas used in our backyard bbqs. We use the Match Light when we do campfires so that we don't have to carry any more things than necessary when we hike.

My family has used Kingsford charcoal all my life. These last few times my husband made us a barbecue, it had a really wierd flavor, not a good one. I thought it might be in the lighter fluid. So we bought one of those chimneys that lets you start a fire without it. The wierd taste is still there. It is so bad the food is inedible. I want to know what you did to this charcoal. Is there some kind of chemical additive? Did you change the kind of wood? I really want to know what happened to this product.

I have used Kingsford for as long as I have been barbacuing. It always lights well and stays lot long. When I lived in West Virginia, I had a grill designed like a stage coach, and I believe it came from Kingsford. My 4 grown children all use Kingsford, and we always will!

After using Kingsford for 40 years, we are extremely disappointed in your"new and improved" formula. We used the briquettes for cast iron Dutch oven cooking. Sad to say we now use three times as many coals as we used to. Not worth the cost. Please bring back the old formula. We can no longer recommend your product as we have in the past.

My Dad used Kingsford exclusively and always said it worked better than ANY off brand he'd ever tried. They light faster, burn longer and hotter and just made grilling easier for him overall. Dad seems so much smarter now that I have gotten to 50 years of age. Imagine that!!

I got a Pit Barrel Cooker two years ago and powered it by Kingsford Original Charcoal the burn has never let me down. When not using a wood chunks to smoke with just the charcoal alone imparts a great flavor to anything cooked. It always lights easily and ready to cook in a very short time. I look forward to many more cooks using Kingsford Charcoal.

I have grilled, cooked, barbecued, and smoked outdoors for years. I have used many different types of heat from gas to wood to coconut shells and have found that Kingsford Briquets are the best. It does light fast and burns long and does not make your food taste bad like a gas grill. I will only use Kingsford Original Briquets and nothing else.

We buy nothing but Kingsford original Charcoal because there is no mistaking the quality. With the ease of lighting it and the long burn there is nothing else that we'd trust with all of our grilling/smoking adventures! Kingsford has never let us down!

I love Kingsford charcoal but am dissatisfied with the new thin stile briquets. They may burn longer but if they fall through the grates before they are ash, they are just waisted. I used to be able to use the remaining charcoal after a grilling a second time but now when I heap the coals together to light them up a good number of them fall through the grate. They are lost and waisted because they are so thin and won't stay on the grate!
