Curious I am

The argument can be made that everything on Earth is "natural". So I would like to know what the ingredients are in your Original Charcoal that is not wood? I cook with this stuff and have enjoyed it immensely. That being said, it is in my food and I believe we should be informed as to what we are eating. Thank you

Kingsford (New) Original Charcoal

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!!

Never Again

Our Church has held 2 Chicken BBQs per year for over 40 years, and we have always used Kingsford Original Charcoal. This year, due to price increases, we decide to purchase a cheaper brand of charcoal. We made a Huge mistake. Half way through cooking the Chicken, the charcoal went out, and we spent over an hour lighting more charcoal to cook the rest of the chicken. We were lucky enough to cook the rest of the chicken and sell it all, but we will never again use a sub-par charcoal. From now on, it will be Kingsford Original Charcoal.

It’s not the same!! Changing brands!!

The last six bags of Kingsford charcoal I have bought burnt out extremely fast!! I thought maybe just a bad bag or two but the quality is nowhere near what it used to be! Not sure if they changed their process or what but I’m definitely not buying anymore. After 35 years of what used to be a great product I’m no longer going to put myself through this aggravation!! Good by Kingsford, time to find a new favorite!

THE ABSOLUTE BEST CHARCOAL !!

We only buy Kingsford brand Original Charcoal. We have tried others and Kingsford is "hands-down" the very best. It is consistent and cleans up easily. Don't waste your money on bargain brands as you will be disappointed. Get Kingsford-it's the VERY BEST!!!

kingsford original charcoal

Only the best is used in my grill. I love the taste of kingsford, i dont use the charcoal with chips added because everything i put on the grill requires a different amount of smoke. I only use kingsford chips of course. While gas may be faster a true robust smoke flavor cannot be beat.

this charcoal is to thin

I will never use this charcoal ever again it is too thin upon using it I added extra to the grill but as I started cooking that wasn't even enough. I would definitely not recommend this product ever again and I will no longer use Kingsford ever again.

Fantastic Flavor For Kettle Grills

On my weber kettle grill I've had for about 6 years now it's easy to clean off the next day after barbecuing or grilling! How can I extend the cooking time on my grill for slower cooking and I'd like to try your 25 lb hickory and mesquite logs for smoking!

Disappointed

We recently held a chicken bbq for our volunteer fire department. We purchased one pallet of this product (which normally lasts both bbqs) we were very disappointed when we had to use 8 extra bags just to get the pit started. This does not include all the extra bags used to keep it going. This pallet seemed to burn alot faster then previous years we hold two bbqs a year and we depend on the bags to last so we can make money to keep the station going sad to say this bbq our hopes kinda went up in smoke

Nice Product, Lights Quick

I use charcoal for all my grilling and smoking. I've got something cooking outdoors at least four nights a week. This stuff is easy to use. Lights quick, burns hot. One drawback is the amount of ash it leaves, but I figure that's due to the clay filler. Otherwise, no complaints whatsoever. As a tip, throw a handful of well soaked hardwood chips in the charcoal before cooking your foods. Apple, Pecan and Hickory make a fantastic blend and enhance just about any meat you might be cooking up.
