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 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.

I always stock up on this charcoal when is the end of season. Always have about 10 bags in my stock because this is the best charcoal for grilling. It lasts long and burns hot, only thing I have noticed is it flares up a lot if meat has lots of fat. I once tried a cheaper brand and did not flare up as easy but did not last as long.

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.

My husband is the grill master in our family. He uses a charcoal canister and will only buy kingsford. It burns slower and lasts longer than any other brand we've tried. I would recommend this brand over any other brand out there. five stars for taste and value.

I have to admit, I have bought discount charcoals in the past. I didn't think there was a difference in quality. I was wrong. The Kingsford lights so much easier, and heats faster with less fluid than cheaper brands. It makes grilling out so much easier and faster! The only brand I will buy now is Kingsford!

Recently, while on vacation in FL, we had to buy a new grill for the condo( the old one was a rusted mess). While I was buying it, my guest was buying a store brand charcoal at the grocery store. What a nightmare!!! Had to keep addind lighter fluid, relighting, etc. Long story short, the steaks and seafood tasted like lighter fluid and cheap charcoal. First thing next a.m., went back to the store and bought the old faithful, Kingsford. I, personally, NEVER use anything but. Long live the King(SFORD)!

I cook alot on a stick burner smoker. I have discovered it is much easier to control the fire temp. it I use a bed of coals and add wood on top. This make a very stable temp. and I add a little wood for flavor. I buy large quantities when I find on sale. I can cook for over four hours using less than 20 lbs. and a few pieces of wood.

Not just for Grilling but an excellent product for controlling temp, and cooking time when using Dutch Ovens . I will use about 4 to 500 lbs of Kingsford original a year. Also use it for all my grilling needs as well. nothing else last like Kingsford

I've always used this charcoal, but have gotten a couple of bum bags in the past two seasons. I realize it seems ridiculous as charcoal production is a pretty straight forward process one would think, but I could not get these freaking things going. Totally ruined a get together as I was humiliated at having to practically set the deck on fire to get a steady heat...and they still went out about half way burned. Before anyone wonders, I am an veteran griller and the product was properly stored (although perhaps not at the store or warehouse...moisture...did not seem so). Anyway, Kingsford has now lost a previously loyal customer...there are other ways to grill, after all.
