we had a weekend get together...just simple...burgers and hot dogs....we drank some beer and played some yard games...and 3 hrs later our guest wanted to eat again.... I didnt have to restart our even add to the grill it was still hot...I was amazed... kingsford was the champ for feeding our hungry guest TWICE !!!
We had a bag of no-name coals, almost no lighter fluid, and our lighters died on us on Memorial Day of all days. Our burgers, brats and skewers were ready to go on, but there was not even a spark. We opened a bag of Kingsford and put some on top of this pathetic heap and threw matches at it with little hope since it was a windy day on top of everything else. We walked away and basically gave up and started to try to come up with a back-up plan. Half an hour later, we went outside and found the grill ready to go. No lie! Kingsford is KING! You saved our bbq today.
After using Kingsford for 40 years, we are extremely disappointed in your"new and improved" formula. We used the briquettes for cast iron Dutch oven cooking. Sad to say we now use three times as many coals as we used to. Not worth the cost. Please bring back the old formula. We can no longer recommend your product as we have in the past.
I have used Kingsford my entire grilling life. The blue-and-white bag meant great steaks when I was a kid; great veggies during my vegetarian days; and great burgers and brats now. I'm a life-long fnb!
