Great taste
One of the best charcoal I think. Gives off the best smelling smoke when food is on the grill. Stays at the right heat temperature the hole time the food is cooking. Minimal ash left behind

Flavor!!!
Flavor is great, they burn like they need too. If you place the coals right the heat distribution is perfect. I live how my food tastes with this apple flavor. Perfect for cookouts!

Apples on the grill
I love the apple taste that it leaves, as well as, the smell! It's true to the brands reputation. Ash produced stays hot and easily dispersed. Easily lit and long burn time.

My favorite.
Kingsford is a trusted brand. The charcoal doesn't burn up too quickly. I love the Applewood. It keeps me from having to purchase the wood chips in adjacent to the charcoal. Everything from beef, to vegetables, to fish..this charcoal adds such a depth of flavor.

Okay
This wasn’t my favorite charcoal. I liked it but it was different for me. It gave some of the food I used this to cook a kinda fruity like taste. It’s definitely better for pork in my opinion

Great for smoking!
I recently purchased a smoker and decided to pick up this charcoal along with some chips to smoke some meats and they turned out great! Still practicing and learning but it does a good job.

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.
