have usedKingsford Original for over 50 years, great starting time , and has a long burn time . Works wonders when making Pulled Pork or Brisket . Gives excelent flavor to my Ribs .
I never use anything other than Kingsford. Tried off brands in the past and you can taste the difference. I grill or BBQ as we call it out west and these briquettes burn the best. Evenly, long lasting and once you let them burn down to whiteish color they're ready and there's no charcoal taste whatsoever.
