I purchased last two season some Kingsford Original and and on two separate occasions, had about half briquettes with metal wires! in them. Contacted Kingsford, but the customer service lady wasn't too concerned about it and even told me to still use them as usual. I replied that this is unacceptable and would like the refund and she reluctantly promised to send 1 coupon to replace it. This poor quality and unconcerned customer service won't be tolerated in our household and we already switched to other brand.
Also those briquettes are so light and don't burn as long as they used to.
Sorry but, until I hear something else, my money will be spend on better quality.
We have been buying kingsford for years. In the last 4or 5 years we started using the kingsford hickory. We do alot of grilling and smoking and kingsford hickory is the absolute best. Best flavor does a fantastic job.
I been using this brand of charcoal from the start, use other charcoal. Nothing beats this brand. Great product and would highly recommend this product.
