Look No Further!

As a guy who has been grilling 50+ years and has used many different brands and types of charcoal I can honestly say Kingsford Original charcoal briquettes represent the best quality and value available to “grillers” of any level of ability. Easy lighting, ready quick, consistent burns, hot or slow, and long lasting! If you know how to properly operate your grill, you wont find a better product! Highly recommended!

Best Charcoal

I go through about 20 - 30 lbs of Kingsford every week to assist my smoker in keeping heat. I have regretfully tried other brands and Kingsford is by far the best for low and slow or hot and fast cooking. I will never be foolish enough to go with another brand again!

Wow, what a fathers day!

Wow, what a Father’s day today was, my family simply loved the how the dinner turned out using Kingsford Charcoal for the first time. Having just purchased my first charcoal grill, I opted for Kingsford’s Charcoal and can’t tell you how extremely happy I am and how easy and simply it is to use with outstanding results. I mixed half regular charcoal with half mesquite charcoal for a great flavor and flawless cooking results. Thank you Kingsford!!!

I love this product

I started useing a charcoal grill about 4 years ago after our family started camping and my youngest son said that the food tasted better over charcoal then gas. I use my smoker with my charcoal on weekends . We've also used mesquite but I prefer the original briquets.

Number 1 in charcoal !

Great charcoal, easy to use, leaves great taste !! Use a chimney starter ! I used to use charcoal lighter/starter fluid, bought a charcoal chimney, lit the briquettes, and in 15 minutes they're glowing ! The food tastes better, it just simply does !! I use Kingford !!!

a great backup

I have been using kingsford charcoal for over 50 years, my present[charcoal] grill uses preferably lump charcoal,I can & do use kingsford when short of lump charcoal or want to extend more frugally my charcoal usage in my 'GREEN EGG'. I would & do recomend kingsford to my friends, it is reasonably priced & readily availlable in my area.

Has Something Changed?

Over the years I have bought nothing but Kingsford charcoal, but it seems over the last year or two, the charcoal has been burning out, losing it's heat much faster than in the past. Wondering if something has changed in "the recipe" to make this happen? Last night I barely had enough heat to cook 10 chicken legs. Just curious.

Go to coals

Whenever I grill, I always start with Kingsford coals! These have been my go to coals for years! The coals keep their temperature and aid in consistent cooking, whether you're direct or indirect grilling. I wouldn't choose any other brand...Kingsford equates to perfection for your inner grill master!

Disapointment

I have been using the Original Charcoal for years. This year I have found the quality to be lacking. The coals do not seem to get the white ash hot burn that they used to. This is my second bag this summer and the 2 bags have burned the same. the coals do not burn out, I'm left with 1/4 burnt coals after each BBQ. Overall, this used to be a GREAT product. I have been disappointed this year.
