I do a lot of grilling, BBQing and smoking. Kingsford original is my go-to charcoal. It lights easy, it burns evenly and it lasts longer. I have tried cheaper brands and I always come back to Kingsford. I look for sales year round and stock up!
I never had a problem lighting these briquettes, and it helps the flavor of my food taste great every time i grill. I'm never going back to cheap charcoal again!
