Trusted brand
This charcoal has been a grilling staple in my family since I was a child. The charcoal heats quickly and our burgers always end up cooked to perfection.

Only charcoal we use.
We have tried every brand that they have to bbq. We only use this. It works really well and the coals stay lit for a while after we are done cooking. Would recommend.

Oldie but Goody!
I only use Kingsford when we grill during the summer months. Love the flavor it gives meat and vegetables. I would recommend this for any non gas grill.

THIS IS THE BEST BRAND!
If you need charcoal don’t trust any other brand for your family other than KINGSFORD! Nothing tastes or burns like it! You’ll know when you buy off brand because it’s going to taste like coal. This taste like you actually had a free burning fire with nothing but true coals. 🥰

My dad used this charcoal for years
I’ve notice that this charcoal was my dads go to when it came to grilling. Recently I notice that he switched to another brand, I’m not sure why he did.

What to say, what to say??? Kingsford Charcoal has been around since I can remember. We keep it stocked at our house. Easy to use. Doesn’t leave an after taste on food. I tried an off brand once and never again!

We use kingsford charcoal mostly every time we grill. It’s our go to. It’s a tad expensive, but it’s what we chose. We used it about a month ago. We highly recommend it.

My go to
I don't go for much other than this stuff. I use it in a chimney starter and it's always good. Mild flavor and never chemical-tasting.

Only one we use!
This is the only charcoal that we have used for 10+ years! Anything other than the original gives me horrible heartburn, so I hope they never change it! We always keep a bag on hand no matter the season!

Charcoal OG
My husband loves to grill and when charcoal is needed, this is his go to. Kingsford doesn't take forever to get going in the chimney (unlike some others). You can get flavored varities but we opt to add our own wood chunks as desired.

Who Doesn't Like a Good Barbecue?!?
One of my favorite family times is us just barbecuing in the backyard. I think grilling makes the food just taste better! And who doesn't like enjoying a good ol' smore?! Choosing the correct coals really does matter and these are my favs. They are easy to light and actually stay lit. They are long lasting and definitely are great assistance when making that perfect burger or hot dog. A great product at a great price and will continue to buy.

Kingsford Charcoal
I have always purchased Kingsford Charcoal because of the quality. I recently purchased a bag for a cookout and I am sorry to tell you the quality was poor. It started fine but when the charcoal started to get white on the edges the heat was very poor. Not good when you have friends over.

Smells like summer
We have used Kingsford as long as I can remember and it works great. We use other products with this charcoal to add flavor and help lighting and that is why I didn’t give it a 5 star review.

Still does job
Great product I bought these but I had to buy lighter fluid to use them properly. I still have some left I think they burn well with other ones that are match light.

Affordable Charcoal for family bbqs
When Kingsford Charcoal goes on sale, my family and I stock up to get ready for those summer barbecues that we know we will be having! They last a decent amount of time when burned so we don’t have to go through the entire bag all at once!
