I've been using this for decades, but no more. Despite using it in a charcoal chimney with newspapers -- as I have for many years -- it doesn't burn. I'm not sure if it's some kind of EPA restriction or what, but it no longer burns and is absolute garbage these days.

I am really troubled by what I am seeing and using. No one can improve on the flavor that your charcoal gives my product, so smokey, very flavorful, but I am finding more small, broken and halved briquets. These small charcoal pieces fall and block the air vents. I do not feel that your product lives up to the quality standards that Kingford has strived to uphold for my forty years of bar-b-que. Please help me change my review.

I have just opened my second bag of Kingsford Original charcoal in six weeks that is so dusty it almost unusable. This is not what I have come to expect from Kingsford. This has been my go to for many years but that will change if I keep opening product that looks like this.

Kingsford charcoal original and Kingsford lighter fluid are the best there is. I have tried a lot of differant charcoal, they all gave the food a weird taste. I grill out at least 5 days a week. I have made everything beef,lamb, duck, goose, pizza, fish you name it I have grilled it. Even here in central Wisconsin, I grill in all weather, It is the best.

We always buy Kingsford. When we visit family at the lake cabin, my husband and I are in charge of grilling. There's an ongoing feud between the neighbors and us regarding which makes the better burger - gas or charcoal - and the charcoal wins hands down every time.

I'm old school. I was cooking on a hibachi grille when I was 10 years old. I don't like the new Kingsford charcoal with the grooves. I think they were designed for impatient grillers. They light quickly in my chimney starter but they last half as long which makes the bag last half as long. I think this was as much a marketing idea as anything else. Are the old briquettes still available and if so, how can I get them.

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)!

We've been using Kingsford Charcoal for as long as i can remember and its consistent and never disappoints. Lights evenly and is reliable; we use this for year round grilling here in the Windy City! I stock up on this every single year and have always been a faithful customer. Thanks for providing a great product.

My Great Grandma wanted to make some old fashion beans in her 100 year old kettle. But, she said in order to do it, she had me pickup Kingfords Original, should would not use anything else but. I picked it up and she cooked the beans. I asked her why did you want the Kingsford, She said that that is the only way to get the flavor cooked correctly into the beans. She said that you never change a good thing. She just turned 94 the other day.

I used to buy whatever brand charcoal was on sale. At the beginning of this summer we tried Kingsford and we are never going to buy a different brand again. They are so easy to get started, burn extremely long, and they flavor of the food always turns out great. I highly recommend trying this product!
