I pay less for store brands and bargain brands but end up, more times than not, with large amounts of chips and dust in the bag. With Kingsford I don't experience this problem
I've been using Kingsford brand for quite some time, however I have recently been very disappointed in it's quality as to heat output. At first I thought it was drawing moisture even though it was stored in a dry room and even inside additional plastic bags. This made no difference as the results were the same with several bags as this is how I purchased this product. In closing I will opt for a brand change in the future and no longer waste money on an inferior product!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
