Great product
Lights quickly and stays lit. We use it in the smoker along w flavor wood chips. It’s the only brand we trust and will always buy this brand.

Best flavor ever!
Nothing says summer like hot coals on the bbq grill. These are very reliable and don’t take a lot to light. Love grilling season!

Kingsford charcoal
We always use Kingsford, it’s easy to light, easy to use. Food tastes good. No funky charcoal aftertaste. Price is fair and I’d recommend

Like this charcoal
Works way better than cheap dollarstore charcoal. Easier to light & stays burning longer. Use when grilling food in my charcoal grill.

Barbecue Must have
This stuff is great and has been around forever. It’s probably the first thing you think of when you say barbecue. It’s the one I use and always have handy. When I smell the coals warming up you just can’t help but to know BBQ season has begun. The charcoals heat up perfectly and cook the food with a slight summer taste to it. You just know that spring has sprung when you smell Kingsford charcoals filling the air.

Horrible
Been using Kingford for 30+ years last few are steady getting worse and worse.
Low temps, partially pressed, cracking disaster.
Probably bought the last 2 bags unless it improves back to the original like it says!

Short burn time and temperature
I don't know what you did, but this is much different now. As soon as I picked the bag up, I noticed it was significantly lighter than expected. Then I noticed that the coals burned half the time I typically get and also didn't get as hot. I smoke my meats, slow and low. I had a hard time getting to 250F with indirect heat and then I had to add more coals approximately every hour. Normally I can get to temp quickly and it will burn for 2hrs before I have to add more coals.

Great Product
The reviews that complain about the product not lighting, burning, whatever, are simple insane. I’ve been grilling and smoking with this stuff for a decade in my Weber kettle and Smoky Mountain Bullet smoker, including several overnight smokes. Lighting is a cinch with a chimney and the briquettes burn perfectly. Great product!
