Rated 5 out of 5 by from Let's grill! Kingsfords hardwood smells wonderful as it lingers through the backyard into the neighborhood yards. The added flavor brings all the neighbors out. It has a great flavor, perfect heat output and ash production that is long lasting.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I switched to these and like them Been a long time user of a certain oak lump charcoal. Decided to buy a bag of this to try and liked it so much I got some more. Has a fantastic smell, burns hot and noticeably less creosote than regular k blue.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from I bought two swans I bought two swans by accident and they make a charcoal I just didn't really care for this brand because it added a little bit of a flavor to my meat that I didn't care for and I know some people say hey this is delicious so maybe it just depends on who you are but for me personally I didn't care for it I prefer the original brand
