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!

Its been a while since Ive used charcoal but when I did I always choose Kingsford. The charcoal lasts a very long time and you dont need a whole lot. You cant beat a picnic grilling with Kingsford Charcoal.

Easy
This is by the one that seems to light very easily and also maintain the heat without burning through several coal lumps.

Okay for low and slow
Terrible for hot and fast. By the time the chimney is lit the charcoal at the bottom is already out. I only bought it because it was on sale and one cook in I already regret it. I'll use what I have, but I can't wait to go back to B&B.

Kingsport is King!
Grilling is easy and enjoyable thanks to Kingsport! The charcoal briquettes are a good size and cook food well on the charcoal grill. The food comes out smoky and perfect thanks to Kingsport. The price is affordable and it lasts awhile too. I highly recommend this to others!

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