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.

I picked these up
I picked these up by accident, my husband was not a fan. He said they were hard to light and he didn't like the flavor that it added to the meat.

Great for natural flavor,
Great for natural flavor, looking lasting for any smoked meat on the grill, or in the stove in some water

These wood chips are
These wood chips are great for smoking. I love cooking on the grill and this particular product just makes everything shine with flavor. They burn slow, they light easy, and they smoke deliciously. Definitely try these if you have a smoker. I'd also recommend them because they are cost effective.

We use these in the smoker, they pack your meats with such great mesquite flavor. One of my top fav flavors for smoked food.

Great product but I can't find it in California!
I discovered this product while visiting in Utah. I did a few racks of ribs using it.
Until then, I only used hardwood lump charcoal.
I absolutely love having hardwood in briquette form! It makes it incredibly easy to set up for smoking or grilling as opposed to lump.
My only issue is I can not seem to find it locally in Southern California. I would be using it now if I could!

Long lasting
I just finished a pork butt. I used 1 load of Hardwood charcoal. 8.5 hours later, my pork was finished at the coals still had time on them.

Consistent and long lasting
Used today for first time in my WSM to smoke some ribs. Was the most consistent smoke I’ve done on it - barely had to make tweaks over the 4 hours. At the end there was still probably half the chimney worth of briquettes in the smoker. I’ve best trying different charcoals, lump and briquette, and think I’m going to settle on these as my go-to. Very satisfied

Great temperature holding
Been trying to find the right charcoal for what I need and the hickory briquettes were so nice! Lit quickly, burned evenly. And have a nice flavor and doesn’t compete with wood chunks

This is by far the best it's we don't use and starter fluid at all so there's no taste of fluids. It's the best

Work great in the monolith kamado
Excellent for a quick grill like steak and burgers. A slight learning curve for the long smokes. But they are excellent and last long. I now like them better than lump.

The Very Best
I've used regular briquettes and lump charcoal. Kingsford hardwood briquettes hands down are the very best. They burn long and hot. Consequently I used less briquettes. Which also makes them a good value.

Burns Clean & Hot!!!
Picked up a bag of this Hardwood Charcoal last week, just tried it tonight.....noticeably cleaner burn, HOT, Hot, Hot, once it got rolling in the chimney starter.....gotta use LESS briquets than I normally do! It even imparts a slight wood smoked taste to the Ribeyes.....the Wife and Daughter LOVED it! I'll be buying more of this, to stockpile for winter!

Not good
I brought this the other day which was hard to fine, used in my big green egg and it was the worst hard wood I ever used. The smell was trouble and did heat that fast. I have always used Kingsford but will never use this again.

Love em and wish I could find them again
Used them earlier in the summer, but not able to find lately. I found these versatile to use in my green egg for grilling or smoking. I've smoked a "butt" to perfection and used for steaks (high heat). Are they a replacement for "lump" like some complaints? Can't say. All I can tell you I was able to use for 6-8 hours of smoking.

Can't find them this season
I used these last year and liked them. I grill almost daily about 6 months of the year. I haven't been able to find them in stores that sold them last year. Why??

Took a chance: so glad we did!
We bought this because it said "lump" and "mesquite" and was little less $ and lbs than the trad Kingsford bag we usually purchase.
I am using a well seasoned Weber Kettle, but started coals on a Weber gas grill since my chimney is broken.
Was very skeptical about the burn time of these coals at first, but they truly did last a very long time and cooked three bone-in rib steaks to absolute perfection.
We achieved Restaurant quality flavor and sear, and our friends were raving about the steaks!
We will be buying this type of coal for the rest of the summer!
