The only charcoal I use!
This charcoal burns well and does not create very much mess! I love using this charcoal on my large charcoal grill. I use the snake method as well as other common charcoal set ups to get the best coverage for cooking food!

Classic
I don’t like to bother with any of the fancy or generic charcoals. This is the tried and true classic. It was the same one we used as I was growing up and it's just as the saying goes: if it's not broke, don't fix it.

The best
I love kingsford charcoal they are very easy to light they be ready to use in about 15 minutes and they burns for a long time and it doesn’t take a lot when using them. I’ve tried others to save money, but I always go back to kingsford it’s no other like them. They are well worth your money.

It works
It works good for the price . Plus you can find it anywhere. It doesn’t make the food taste funny so that’s a plus. I would recommend it for anyone that likes to gril

Gets the job done!
Kingsford Original Charcoal is a great brand to use for cooking out. The charcoal lights up really easy and stays lit long enough and hot to get your food cooked!

Great for BBQ
Used Kingsford for my charcoal grill and works everytime. Keeps my grill nice and warm without causing too much of a smokey taste on my food. I recommend all the time.

Number 1
Of course this is probably the most used charcoal but I have never had any issues with the charcoal. Sometimes I can use it twice but that’s only sometimes.

Terrible smell
It’s not that greatest because when it burns it smells terrible if you get the stuff that’s more natural and has zero chemicals it also makes the good taste way better

Great stuff!
My husband swears by this charcoal, he refuses to use the off brand & says that it doesn’t cook as well! I will continue to buy this brand for our grilling!
