A Classic!
A classic! Cannot go wrong with this. There's not nasty flavor left on your bbq proteins, the burn time is great, after cooking its nice to leave it on for the s'mores. This is our family's go-to! Definitely recommend.

Great
Works better than any other charcoal we have used. I would recommend this over many other brands that we have tried but this one just seems to be the best and burn the longest.

Yes!
Nothing beats the original! The coals add amazing flavor to whatever you're cooking. The heat is distributed evenly. Ash production is great.

No Other Can Compare
Kingsford has always been my preferred choice to charcoal when I am grilling. This charcoal lights pretty fast, burns evenly, and will burn for about 3 hours. The burn performance is amazing and no other charcoal can compare this brand. I say in about 15 minutes the bricks are white and ready. Kingsford will alway be number one to me and my family.

This is a classic. This easily burns within seconds. It makes lighting really big and bright. It does have a little bit of ash afterwards but it's decent. It distributes heat like crazy. Definitely keep coming back for more every year.

The OG BBQ Charcoal
The OG of BBQ charcoal. It's easy to light, consistent and works great for your back yard BBQ. It's also easy to throw a bag in your car for a party or keep in your garage for an impromptu BBQ. We always have an extra bag. We use the chimney starter method on our Weber grill for consistent ease of starting a fire.

Good for out bbq
It keeps the flames going without fizzling out. The heat stays distributed evenly as long as you stir it around. It doesn't make ashes which is always a good thing.

Kingsford Charcoal
These have always been our first choice of charcoal briquettes, for as long as I can remember. They have consistently maintained their quality and they are very dependable. They are easy to light, give consistent heat and get the job done. Easy to find and about average price.
