Best for outdoor party
It’s summer now and it’s the best time to do barbecue. I do have large backyard. So most of the time I do barbecue on my backyard. My kids love them. Sometimes I invite my relatives too. So for barbecue party i use kingsford charcoal. It’s packaging is great and heat output is best. It’s easy to use and no eye burning smoke.

i like it easy to use
Awesome charcoal briquettes, light up easily, burn long and consistently produce good quality heat. Packaging is excellent and my four bags arrived in top condition, no damage. You will love them too. Highly recommended!

Lasts longer
Kingsford was my dad's charcoal of choice since I can remember. Unfortunately, he's no longer with us, but I continue to use it as he taught me. I like that it didn't leave an ugly taste to the food. It burns slow and steady. The packaging is so sturdy that I've forgotten it outside in the rain, and nothing happened to it.

Always the best!
When I'm using my charcoal grill, Kingsford Original Charcoal is the brand I'm reaching for. I've never had any issues getting these charcoal bricks to light and there's really nothing compared to the taste of burgers and hot dogs on a charcoal grill!! Kingsford brand is trusted and always my go-to. 10/10

Classic
These are a classic and what we use for all of our cook outs. The briquets are easy to light and have a long, even burn time. They are almost foolproof.

Works great, tastes great!
Works great! With a charcoal chimney, there's no need for lighter fluid with Kingsford Charcoal. They burn evenly and the food tastes great. We like to tear off part of the packaging for getting the coals started, easy and effective.

Go-to summer needs
The always go-to charcoal for our summer grilling needs! Cooks food to perfection without that smoky taste you get in pellet grill. Easy to light with a squirt of some lighter fluid on the coals and no problem keeping them lit! 🔥

It holds a long time.
The flavor of the meat is really good when you use it, it retains the flavor, and it's easy to light and discard when it's done, burns generally well for a while, and the heat spreads out over time.

Good flavor
The packaging is durable and great. The flavor of the charcoal is great, and also doesn’t have an ashy taste to it. Great grill performance for heat distribution.

BBQ tastes better with charcoal
I feel like the BBQ tastes better with this charcoal compared to air fryers. It also smells better with charcoal, and I like it. The grill and flame are great. Packaging is durable.
