Had a cookout and few friends over. Everyone brought something. I always use Kingsford but, a friend had brought a store brad. The store brand lasted no time. I keep having to add more charcoal. Which is never fun to someone who knows how to grill!
I've been using Kingsford charcoal for more than 30 years. I like the way it lights, the way it's ready quickly and the results from my food. Anyone that uses anything else, is wasting their money.
I have been using Kingsford most of my life. I tried other brands here and there. but Kingsford stays lit the longest, it's hotter and it does lite faster.
