The Best There Its !!!

Kingsford Charcoal is the only charcoal we use. We have tried others but they didn't light well or stay lite. It took twice as much charcoal. My Dad used Kingsford ,I use it and now our daughter.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Unhappy

I've always used Kingsford, but will be looking for another brand. The briquets light quick, but they also burn quick. I don't remember ever having Kingsford burn this fast. As others have said, it's ok for weiners or a couple burgers, but for anything that takes longer to cook, you'll have to keep adding briquets to make the coals last. I'll be trying different brands in the hopes of finding something that lasts longer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Disappointed

We recently held a chicken bbq for our volunteer fire department. We purchased one pallet of this product (which normally lasts both bbqs) we were very disappointed when we had to use 8 extra bags just to get the pit started. This does not include all the extra bags used to keep it going. This pallet seemed to burn alot faster then previous years we hold two bbqs a year and we depend on the bags to last so we can make money to keep the station going sad to say this bbq our hopes kinda went up in smoke

I love Kingsford Charcoal. Fires up quick and stays hot longer. In fact after they ash over the coals maintan the same shape which shows a great product. I will never use another charcoal until the come out with Kingsford Lump or Applewood.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Disappointing - bring back the classic briquettes

I have been a loyal Kingsford buyer for 25 years, but I have been very disappointed in the "improved" briquettes. The greater surface-to-mass ratio results in a coal that burns hotter for a much shorter period of time. If I was cooking burgers or hotdogs it would work okay, but for anything requiring long, low heat they just don't work. Beer-can chicken was difficult over the summer and the superbowl ribs finally had to be finished in the oven after the fire burned down twice (yes, the vents were open) and over-flamed once after extra coals were added. the new style gives the outdoor chef very poor heat control - it is like trying to build a roasting campfire using nothing but kindling.
