Best charcoal
We absolutely love this charcoal!!
It doesn’t burn too quickly and gives an amazing flavor with the applewood. We use it on everything but I think it pairs best with chicken and pineapples.

Worst charcoal product to date knock offs better
Bought this product in High Hopes since I love the Applewood flavor in a smoker… Did not light very well and could not get them to stay activated long enough to even ash over. Tried restarting it multiple times and with lighter fluid with no success. Complete waste of money

Long lasting and burns completely
My whole adult life I have used Kingsford Charcoal to grill. It has never failed me. lights fasts, last long, burns clean and completely. This makes clean-up a breeze. Someone gave me another brand to try, I gave it away! I love your product!

Incredible Burn Time
This past weekend, I did a 12 hour smoke for pork shoulder on my original PK Grill. I was amazed that I never had to refill with charcoal, particularly since I only started with 8lbs -- half of a 16lb bag. That is astonishing performance by any measure. The flavor was great, and the temp consistency (I ran it at about 240 degrees) was also very good. Can't wait to use the other half of the bag!

No one can cook
No one can cook better BBQ than with a charcoal grill. I like the Kingsford Charcoal with Applewood because the aroma and the extra flavor it gives all of the meat is out of this world.

Great Heat! Superb flavor!
We grill on a BGE almost daily and have used this product for everything from high heat steaks to slow smoking. The product is great for fish, chicken,pork and beef. Provides great flavor when smoking thick steaks and chops and the temp increases quickly for the reverse sear.

Horrible
I have never been more disappointed in Kingford as I'm now. The apple briquettes crumble and won't get hot. With the lid open on the grill on a windy day the still won't get hot. It's been 45 minutes grilling hamburgers and hasn't even been able to flip the meat once. Had to drive back to the store and buy a different brand. Now problems Now with crumbling and getting these hot
SUPER DISAPPOINTED

Possibly a bad batch? Didn't work for me
I bought a couple bags of this charcoal and they just didn't seem like good quality charcoal. They took forever to light, once lit they took way longer than 15 minutes to be ready for cooking, they didn't burn very hot and didn't last long at all. I'm not sure if I just got a bad batch or something? I have always used kingsford without issue but this is my first time trying the applewood variety. I was disappointed this time.

too fast too hot....
Those of us the remember the oversized Sam's charcoal that burned cooler and way longer that was perfect for slow cooking miss those days and wish kingsford would get these heads out of the make lots of money be selling little slotted low life briquettes and a lease offer and much larger briquette that burns cooler and lasts for many hours.

This leaves meat with
This leaves meat with a rich savory sweet smoke that is great with poultry and pork! We use this mostly for those two meats! You don’t taste appple but you do taste a sweetness in the smoke that isn’t there with other charcoals.

We use this in our charcoal grill to cook up some vegan burgers, sausages, and grilled veggies. It gives a beautiful smoked flavor to the vegan food and adds great depth to it. I bought mine from Walmart.

Kings Ford is the King when it comes to BBQ charcoal for me, have used them for ever. Tried this last summer and the applewood really does give an interesting flavor to the grilled meat! Just wish the coals would burn longer..

If you are going
If you are going to bbq on the grill, this is a great buy. It gives the meat a great flavor in addition to whatever seasoning you use. Or don't use even!

Please note this review
Please note this review will be copy and pasted for each Kingsford review as I feel the same way about each of them:
I wish I could say this is the best or greatest for more product related reasons, but frankly I’ve never tried another charcoal brand a day in my life...
This brand is not “just a brand.” It’s a family heirloom or inheritance. There are memories before I had words associated with it— when I see Kingsford, I see uncles standing by the grill. I picture my aunts cooking sides in the kitchen. I think of running around the yard with siblings and cousins. Later in life, it’s the sound of glasses clinking CHEERS! Celebrating friends and their children. Celebrating achievements. Enjoying Summer. Making an excuse to cook for loved ones.
And I’ve happened to luck out that it actually works and does what it says it will do.
