Always happy with the original. I see from the ads it is made with "natural ingrediants". Can they be disposed of by putting it in the garden? What are the best disposal methods for this specific charcoal?
I've used this product for years but recently, they've decided to be like the rest of great companies that went to the wayside and it now sucks...... i bought a bag of coals and had to use almost twice as much as they burned out very quickly. i was cooking chicken and had to add coals too many times, not like before. i want my money back.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello, Chuck. We’re sorry to hear that your Kingsford Original Charcoal burned too fast. Be sure to take note that Kingsford with Sure Fire Grooves is ready to cook on in about 15 minutes. This is significantly less time than it takes all other charcoal available today to get ready to cook on. As a result, you will need to put the food on the grill earlier to take advantage of the extended cooking time that Kingsford charcoal with Sure Fire Grooves provides. We’d be happy to further assist you. Please give us a call at 800-232-4745 and use reference number: 170828-000239 for quick service. We look forward to chatting with you.
We ALWAYS use Kingsford when charcoal grilling. We recently started using charcoal again after about 10 years of using a propane grill. We got out the old bag of briquettes and started them up. Worked great! when we ran out we bought a new bag. Our old dutch oven recipe called for exactly 14 briquettes on the botom and 4 on top. Always worked before! not with the new "improved" Kingsford! Took another 50% more time to cook the cobbler! Same for the dutch oven chicken. So we have to use more briquettes to achieve the result we want in the time we want. How's that for economy?!?! So it costs more, but Kingsfordd is still the best!

It was the Fourth of July afternoon 2016 I got my wife to drop me off at the boat dock to do a little fishing I had eaten earlier that night at home barbecue with Kingsford at home and then I got my wife to take me and drop me at the boat dock so I can do a little fishing well I called about 5 beautiful Bass and as I was walking one fishing spot to the next these four I'll sleep pretty nurses came walking out of the restaurant and one of the gorgeous girls said look at those beautiful fish she said will you cook those fish for us and they had a houseboat out on the end of the. And I said sure I will I said however I'm not hungry already ate at home I cooked early tonight so I can come fishing so we went out there and I'll fillet the fish and there dad had it already had the Kingsford grill lit up about 500 Degrees so I filleted my bass put salt and pepper and lemon and the whole lemon rind wrapped it in put salt and pepper and lemon and the wrap them in aluminum foil 6 minutes on one side 6 minutes on the other side and took them off the grill and the bass the meat literally melted in your mouth and the girls took off with the meat and went walking up and down the pier taking it and letting all their friends taste this meat that would melt in your mouth they brought me back homemade ice cream homemade brownies for me to munch on about the time the fireworks show started that is my Kingsford moment and one of my best memories I love good memories and Kingsford was a big part of making it all happen thank you so much Kingston I love Kingsford I'll keep it in my closet
In simple terms lights easy cooks evenly and stays hot for a good while and never lets me down. I worked at Kingsford plant in Dothan Al when I was in he. I won't use anything else
It's the only thing I use in old Henry's bbq team smoker! Or if I'm grilling on the Bubba grill or just cooking for hubby on the small grill. I try to keep stocked up you see it's the best
