I have used Kingsford for years. I wouldn't use anything else. They last the longest, and start easy, but most important is they are even ans consistent and reliable.
I always stock up on this charcoal when is the end of season. Always have about 10 bags in my stock because this is the best charcoal for grilling. It lasts long and burns hot, only thing I have noticed is it flares up a lot if meat has lots of fat. I once tried a cheaper brand and did not flare up as easy but did not last as long.
I am really troubled by what I am seeing and using. No one can improve on the flavor that your charcoal gives my product, so smokey, very flavorful, but I am finding more small, broken and halved briquets. These small charcoal pieces fall and block the air vents. I do not feel that your product lives up to the quality standards that Kingford has strived to uphold for my forty years of bar-b-que. Please help me change my review.
