Kingsford

I've always used Kingsford charcoal for my home grill and for the duck blind. When Sam's Club put it on sale I bought enough to last a year. When I looked at my invoice I was charged a different price than advertised. This upset me and I got to looking at the sale price, the inside store price and compared them to what I was charged. EVERYONE OF THE PRICES WERE DIFFERENT!¡!¡! I followed through with my purchase but I don't know if I would trust Sam's Club again.....

WHY PURCHASE SMALLED BAGS?!?

Kingsford started out with the 20lb bags and then reduced to 18lbs … then to 16lbs!!! Was in a store that was selling the 16lb gas the same price as when they were 20lbs! I told a man who had picked up two double bags that Sam’s Club had the 20lb double bags for the same price … he immediately put them back and drove from Roanoke Rapids to Rocky Mount!

KingsFord is a must for a good ole Barbecue

I shop at Sam’s because of buying in bulk you save even more. My family and I barbecue at least twice a week. I am able to pickup all of my barbecue items in one location. The best part of the deal is; Sam’s usually have there KingsFord charcoal at a very reasonable price every Spring, this is the time to stock up for the summer. KingsFord and fluid you can depend on.

Stays hot for your BBQ to do a reverse seer.

I got the two bags because they were on sale at a lower price. I cooked pork chops on my BBQ grill by adding the charcoal on the left hand of my grill and the chops on the right side to come up to temperature. Then when they got close to the temperature that I wanted, I put the chops over the left side as a reverse seer. I like that the charcoal stays hot to be able to do a reverse seer.

Tried and True

Mass produced charcoal that is tried and true. I utilize this charcoal because of the price. It’s a decent quality and you get a good amount for the price. It burns dirty longer than more premium charcoal but if you are patient enough it still cooks quality food.

We Only use Kingsford

In my opinion, grilling with Kingsford brings out the Best Taste in all meats. I’ve tried cheaper briquettes that don’t compare to Kingsford. With Sam’s Club two large bags the price is just as good if not better than the cheaper brands. I will always use Kingsford from Sam’s.

The most reliable brand out there.

Best charcoal out there. I have used this brand for as long as I can remember. Always reliable. I had a bag for over 2 years and decided to use my charcoal grill for a change. It worked like a brand new bag wood. I don't have to use lighter fluid either. Just start it in the chimney with some paper add it's ready in no time

We will never use any other charcoal

My household barbecues and smokes meat often and Kingsford briquettes are our go-to standard. We tried some of the other brands but came running right back to the regular Kingsford. The briquettes hold up well on both high heat and slow burn. The double bag is less expensive than the supermarket. We will never use anything else.

LOUSY BAG PACKAGING

Have any of the experts in your packaging, design, marketing or sales departments attempted to successfully open a bag of your briquets, using the instructions on the bag "Open From End On Front"? I have tried many times over several years and this method failed, CONSISTENTLY!!! I would include an image but your system did NOT allow.

Great pricing on the Best Brand!

Kingsford has perfected the charcoal production process for long lasting, consistent heat from start to finish, easy to ignite charcoal. Now, with this quantity purchasing program at Sam's, it's price point is as good as if not better than the poor quality generic brands!
