I buy this product by the truckload. LOL! No, literally, we buy anywhere from 10-20 bags at a time. This is the only charcoal we use and being from the south, we can use this to BBQ every weekend of the year if we like. I love Kingsford and refuse to use anything else.

I watched a "Mystery at the Museum." They were telling the story of Henry Ford being eco friendly by taking scrap wood and creating Charcoal briskets. My mind put them together with the oldest and best charcoal. And my hunch was correct. Thanks for being the best and the oldest Charcoal.

I've been reading the reviews of the Kingsford "blue" and the competition briquettes. It seems that most, if not all, the folks have had prior experience with Kingsford going back several years/decades, as well as with other brands of charcoal. I haven't used charcoal since 1978. I'm just getting back into charcoal grilling and barbecuing with a newly-purchased Weber kettle. So, I have no point of reference, save for my experience getting back into charcoal. I followed the instructions for using my chimney starter. I'm learning, slowly, how to moderate the cooking temp by opening/closing the grill vents, AS WELL AS adjusting the amount of charcoal. The only problem I'm finding with the product is the amount of ash. I'm told that it's normal for briquettes. I tried another brand of lump charcoal in a dry run; but I haven't cooked with it yet. It burns hotter and faster than the briquettes. I'm establishing my baseline with Kingsford blue. I'm adjusting the grill vents, cooking times and amount of charcoal based on my current experience, without the benefit of having used the product in the past. So far, I did one rack of ribs and one beef brisket. Both were tasty, with no off taste. BUT, both came out on the dry side, due no doubt to my struggle to maintain a low and slow cooking temp. I gave Kingsford blue a 3-star rating only because I'm just starting out. It's a brand I recognize and trust. As I gain more experience I'll venture out to try different brands. But for now, Kingsford blue is it for me. If it ain't broke, I ain't fixin' it.

Hi i bought 4 double bags 3 weeks ago and i noticed the charcoal burns differently . They burn faster and the are popping sparking . I really don't like that. I'm the only one the BBQs we BBQ at least 4-5 times a week. Go back to the old the old way. Please

I've used this product for years but recently, they've decided to be like the rest of great companies that went to the wayside and it now sucks...... i bought a bag of coals and had to use almost twice as much as they burned out very quickly. i was cooking chicken and had to add coals too many times, not like before. i want my money back.

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!

Our family has been using Kinsford products my whole life. When i was young my Dad told me Kingsford was the best, its all he would use so naturely its all I use today. I love the smell and the taste of anything cooked over the Kingsford coals. Keep grilling!!

I bought this product a week ago, and have used it to grill fish, steak and squash. Each time it was more difficult to start, but once the fire was started, it created a lot more smoke than previous bags of Kingsford Original. It imparted to the food an unpleasant chemical taste. This charcoal is totally different from the Kingsford Original that was packaged in the bag with the "100th Anniversary" logo. It is the worst Kingsford product I have ever purchased!

I enjoy grilling year round and have used Kingsford original for over 30 years. I've tried some other brands a time or two but always go back to Kingsford. It's easy to light with a chimney and paper, burns hot for a longer period of time and adds a great smokey flavor to everything I cook.

I've always used Kingsford Charcoal for all my Weber grills, Smokey Joe, 18.5 Weber Grill and my 18.5 Weber Smoker, and the results are always good!! I've used the Mesquite for my steaks, burgers, etc. I've used the Hickory for my ribs and pulled pork and I've also used the (New) Apple when I'm using my Smoker, but the best part is how fast the charcoal lights up and retains the heat for a long period of time!!
