Charcoal is way to thin!
on July 15, 2012
Posted by: Smoker
from Green Bay, WI
I love Kingsford charcoal but am dissatisfied with the new thin stile briquets. They may burn longer but if they fall through the grates before they are ash, they are just waisted. I used to be able to use the remaining charcoal after a grilling a second time but now when I heap the coals together to light them up a good number of them fall through the grate. They are lost and waisted because they are so thin and won't stay on the grate!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have used Kingsford Original it seems like forever. It is always consistent with even temp and slow burning. I get compliments every time I BBQ and have request for my cooking. Thanks for making my passion a pleasure!

Burns out as soon as they are ready
on July 1, 2012
Posted by: NotHotAndBothered
This is the first time I have used these in years. They burn out way too fast and they don't burn hot. THe whole point of charcoal is that it is supposed to burn hotter than gas. As soon as I take the Kingsford out of the charcoal starter, I can barely get the grill to 300 degrees. It's been the same thing over and over
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The Best Choice...Kingsford

I only use Kingsford Original Charcoal! For me it is the fastest heating, longest lasting , evenest heat there is. Kingsford Charcoal makes cooking out a pleasure! Never have to worry if the coals are all lit, if they have enough heat. When I am ready ...my fire is ready. Kingsford coals the ONLY way to go.

Dependable and Long Lasting

I use this brand because my Dad always used Kingsford for family cookouts and it has become a family tradition with us. We have used it to cook Brisket all night and never have to worry about it not burning like we want it to. Great product that continue with our families for generations to come I am sure.

Kingsford Original Briquets
on June 23, 2012

I preferr Kingsford. It seems to be easier to light. Everytime I've tried another brand I always go back to Kingsford. It burns more evenly too. I'd give it a five star rating.

Works great - when you know how

I bought this charcoal and at first was sadly disappointed. It seemed like it burned way to fast and too hot. Then I figured out that if I simply reduced the air flow, whether on the grill or smoker- it works great!!!! Unless I am fighting the wind, I use 1/2 as much charcoal as I used to for smoking. I did large event at our house and smoked 2 pork butts and then 2 briskets, using just short of 3 -16lb bags over a total of about 32 hours total cooking time. I will NEVER buy anything else.

Best Charcoal

I go through about 20 - 30 lbs of Kingsford every week to assist my smoker in keeping heat. I have regretfully tried other brands and Kingsford is by far the best for low and slow or hot and fast cooking. I will never be foolish enough to go with another brand again!
