Attached are pictures of my club's bbq 8/28/2021. Here are a few facts. We racked 518 chicken halves averaging 1.523 pounds or 24.4 ounces each. What a slab of meat. Total of meat weighed 790 pounds but only 520 pounds charcoal, that's 26 20# bags. That means it only required 0.659 # to grill a pound of chicken for 2 hours. Chicken bbq is a major fundraiser for Mount Sidney Ruritan Club as we have monthly bbq dates to grill approximately 4500 -5000 during the grilling season. Kingsford has done a good job for us over the years and purchase 5-6 pallets for the year. Thank you Kingsford,

What is that taste ?!?

I always use lump charcoal on my grill. Wifey came home with a bag of Kingsford and I am not happy about the taste of my steaks. You took sawdust and glued it into briquettes? I do not like cooking with or ingesting glue...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry to hear you're not a fan of our Kingsford Original Charcoal, which is largely made of charred wood and coal. We take grilling seriously and apologize you weren't impressed with the taste. We'd like to turn this around for you, so please give us a call with this reference number 210823-001189 at 800-232-4745. Hope to talk to you soon.

I have used your product for many years but have noticed in the past 2 years it is not the same! To get it up to cooking temperature I have to take my lawn blower to it. And then it does not last very long. In the mean time I bought another brand that burns just like the old Kingsford. You must have changed the formulation to maintain margin.

Thanks for your feedback, Jim. We're sorry to hear our Original Charcoal Briquets didn't heat up as expected and burned too fast. That sounds frustrating and unexpected. We wanted to be sure you know that Kingsford Original charcoal briquets are now ready to cook about 15 minutes after lighting them up. This is about 25 percent faster than other charcoal available today. The briquets burn as long and hot as our previous charcoal, but you’ll need to put the food on the grill earlier to take advantage of Kingsford’s extended cooking time. We'd love to hear more about your experience. Please give us a call at 800-537-2823 and provide reference number 210824-000300. We look forward to speaking with you.

can't beat the taste

GREAT taste and flavor. Sure beats electric or gas grills. Does it take a little longer to cook. Yes but doesn't doing anything right take just a little bit longer. But it always makes a difference. Use gas for conveinice but use charcoal if you want flavor.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This charcoal is horrible.

Kingsford used to be the best charcoal. It absolutely sucks. I don't know what has changed but it no longer cooks well, burns up way too fast and does not develop a nice white ash when ready to cook any longer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
