Puts a smoke ring on your meat!
I bought this because I love the taste and smell of hickory. But the smoke ring was the cherry on top! A really great product. I plan to buy a few bags to smoke my meats and then regular briquettes to finish off. I hope for Cherry and Post Oak products in the near future.

thanksgiving turkey disappointment
I bought a bag of this because I like the taste of hickory smoked meats. I lit the charcoal and waited until they got white then added my turkey. I after 30 min to 1 hour I noticed the temp wouldn't get over 175 deg. I kept adding and adding charcoal until I had used the entire 14.6 pound the I had just bought the day before. so I added some wood that I had around and the temp started going up within 15 min. so im guessing that this charcoal got moisture in it somewhere along the line before I bought it. I have always tried to stay with Kingford but after this disappointment I might have to try other brands.

Charcoal with embedded wood chips
Always a Kingsford customer, but the addition of embedded wood chips became my "goto". Quick lighting with the non-fluid starter, ready to grill in about 12 minutes. Would like to see cherry wood added in future.

My first disappointment
I have never bought any other brand if charcoal than kingsford, which is why i was so disappointed in the bag of hickory i bought recently.
The bag touts how fast the charcoal is ready and how hot it is. Nothing could be further from the truth in my experience. It always had to be started at least twice, often three times.tonight for example it took 40 minutes to cook 2 thin hanburgers. Very disappointed.

Love This product!
I have great success with this product and it's very easy to use. I think it allows you to not be perfect, but good enough to make them want more. Finger lickin good all the time. Grill time is not a problem no matter how long I grill. This is a top tool for the expert and novice.

Simply the BEST. Wouldn't use anything else.
Over the past 45 years, I have tried most all the Kingford prodocts. Love them all, Simpley the best. Having a BBQ christmas this year (2012) and I know that using Kingsford charcoal, we will get the job done, even with the midwest weather at Christmas time. Thank You Kingsford Ron and April

disapointed
I purchased at least 2 large bags of regular kingsford a month. My local store had your hickory brand on sale a few weeks ago. every time i went barbeque , i could not keep the coals lit for at least 15 minutes.i thought that maybe since it was getting damp in Chicago that may have been the problem.I went back to regular kingsford and i was very satisfied.Kinda screwed up my BBQ plans for a few weeks.

I found the Hickory Charcoal works the best for me,when smoking meat along with some fruit wood such as apple ,cherry ,peach and some Hickory chips.Makes it over the top.

You need to buy this!!!!
I stumbled across this bag of Kingsford Hickory charcoal and said to my husband let's try this. Well we mix this with the original Kingsford Charcoal and what a difference, everything has such a great Hickory flavor, we have had steaks and burgers. Keep up the great work with different products.

Loved it!
Smoked a pork butt this past weekend using the Hickory coals instead of Hickory wood. Tasted just as good! Usually use the Traditional Kingsford coals, found a new product to use.

Hickory is best!!!
I, now, prefer the hickory charcoal for grilling. My Korean Chicken is perfect with this product. Thanks.
There is a problem though...WALMART and COSTCO do not sell it...I'm out as of today so I am grilling with the Original charcoal.
I use the Kingsford lighter fluid for its reliability to start and the absence of a fuel taste.

Flavor and logevity, a great twin set!
I use a charcoal chimney, lighter cubes, and a blow torch to light up my charcoal. This stuff burns a hot bright orange for a good long time. I can sear steaks with it to seal in the juices, then give them a good hickory smoking with the lid on, but not for too long, since I like them a good shade of medium rare. Sometimes I add a few more hickory chips to really get it to permeate the meat, but the hickory charcoal is usually enough to stand alone. I also have used it to cook chicken, which takes a long, long time to cook. With a little stoking, these coals last a very long time and can cook it through well. I continually re-use the old coals and just add new ones to top off the chimney. In the long run, using the good charcoal from Kingsford actually saves money. My advice to anyone who uses charcoal is to use a charcoal chimney with whatever method you want to use to light it, just don't ruin it with lighter fluid. Removing the fluid from the equation has made my grilling experience just that much better. MAPP gas and lighter cubes are the way to go.

Love the hickory flavor!
I use the Kingsford charcoal with hickory for steaks, porkchops and chicken most of the time. When I can get the meat I also use it for cooking venisen roasts in the smoker. Love the flavor it imparts to the meat! It is always easy to start and stays lit no matter how long I need to slow cook some large cuts of meat.
