Wish i could make it a zero - the charcoal doesn't burn as hot as it used to. There are much better options out there.

We enjoyed getting these at Sam’s due to the price per ounce but now our Depot store has it for less without it being on sale. This might change in time but for now we will shop where the deals are.

It was the Fourth of July afternoon 2016 I got my wife to drop me off at the boat dock to do a little fishing I had eaten earlier that night at home barbecue with Kingsford at home and then I got my wife to take me and drop me at the boat dock so I can do a little fishing well I called about 5 beautiful Bass and as I was walking one fishing spot to the next these four I'll sleep pretty nurses came walking out of the restaurant and one of the gorgeous girls said look at those beautiful fish she said will you cook those fish for us and they had a houseboat out on the end of the. And I said sure I will I said however I'm not hungry already ate at home I cooked early tonight so I can come fishing so we went out there and I'll fillet the fish and there dad had it already had the Kingsford grill lit up about 500 Degrees so I filleted my bass put salt and pepper and lemon and the whole lemon rind wrapped it in put salt and pepper and lemon and the wrap them in aluminum foil 6 minutes on one side 6 minutes on the other side and took them off the grill and the bass the meat literally melted in your mouth and the girls took off with the meat and went walking up and down the pier taking it and letting all their friends taste this meat that would melt in your mouth they brought me back homemade ice cream homemade brownies for me to munch on about the time the fireworks show started that is my Kingsford moment and one of my best memories I love good memories and Kingsford was a big part of making it all happen thank you so much Kingston I love Kingsford I'll keep it in my closet

I have cooked indirect- chicken,ribs ,etc using Kingsford briquets for many yrs always with great results until recently when it became obvious that all the "new "briquet products have been redesigned and that they ash up and burn out quickly requiring me to add more briquets to complete my normal cooking cycle. I have now found another brand briquet that performs like the good old Kingsford so I'll go with that until Kingsford (The Netflix of the BBQ world) responds with a useable product.

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!!

As a mom I like to save (time, money, childrens artwork, etc). Although, this brand can be $1-2 more expensive its worth it. Ive tried the generics from many stores and ive tried all the leading national brands. Nothing lights better or lasts longer than Kingsford.

I’ve used kingsford for decades and have always felt like it was the best. In the past few years I’ve noticed a change. Your charcoal does not burn as hot or last as long as it used to. I read you modified how you made the briquettes. If so, you should consider another change.

New and improved is far from truth. After lighting the charcoal it was closer to an hour before it was hot enough to cook on and even then it wasn't the greatest. Charcoal may light faster but that doesn't mean you can cook on it faster. It does however stay hotter longer.. well more like warmer longer. Defiantly will not buy this again.

We've grilled several times this Spring and have already gone through two bags of this charcoal. It's been fantastic! We've had no difficulty lighting it or keeping it burning at all and it has cooked our chicken, hamburger and fish evenly. I don't think anyone could ask for a better, more dependable charcoal!

I have learned the hard way that Kingsford is the best. While in a hurry last year to get the grill going, I ran into Kroger and grab the first bag of charcoal I could find. I really didn't think there was a difference in buying a no-named brand verses Kinsford. Well as luck would have it the charcoal would not stay lit..after tons of lighter fluid it just wasn't happening. So back to the store ...bought some Kingsford and dinner was on! From now on it's only Kinsford.
