really the only product i use. i cook 3-2-1 ribs, rib-eye, skirt steak, veggies , a bunch of other food. i use it on my oklahoma joe smoker, chargriller outlaw and a small portable chargriller. people saying that its not good , don't know what they are doing (now the product that i would say burns too fast is the charcoal with mesquite in it.- i only used it once)
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bought a new Weber grill a week ago thinking I would like to get into charcoal grilling again.Picked up a bag of Kingsford Original Charcoal.I am very unhappy with the heating time of the charcoal.Heated up hot for the first 15 minutes and after that could not get anymore heat out of the coals.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Coals don't stay lit

Something changed. Kingsford used to be very reliable. the briquettes take longer to get started, don't burn hot, and the coals go out. the last several times I have cooked, I ended up with a bunch of briquettes in the bottom of my grill. They aren't burning. the briquettes have white ash on them but there is plenty of unburnt coal in the middle.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Something has changed...... not for the better!

My family has used Kingsford charcoal all my life. These last few times my husband made us a barbecue, it had a really wierd flavor, not a good one. I thought it might be in the lighter fluid. So we bought one of those chimneys that lets you start a fire without it. The wierd taste is still there. It is so bad the food is inedible. I want to know what you did to this charcoal. Is there some kind of chemical additive? Did you change the kind of wood? I really want to know what happened to this product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The Coals aren't the same

I feel like the coals don't burn as long and they seem smaller. I cook with 4 kettles and after years of cooking I don't feel like these are a great value anymore. The twin packs used to last me a a few weeks but not anymore.
