Great for hamburgers
It’s been years since I’ve used Kingsford. But this was our go to. I remember watching my uncle getting ready to make hamburgers. He loves it and still uses it. Hamburgers are also better with Kingsford.

Great for camping
We use this every time we go camping! It lights easily and doesn’t burn out too quick. It makes for a good hot fire to cook our food over when camping.

Our Go To Charcoal
I love this charcoal! This is our go to when we need charcoal! They have a few different flavors which is nice, the burn time is fast and lighting is easy! I feel with these coals the heat distribution is really good and like with all charcoal, you’re going to have the mess with the ashes. However, the process and efficiency of this charcoal is spot on!

A Classic!
A classic! Cannot go wrong with this. There's not nasty flavor left on your bbq proteins, the burn time is great, after cooking its nice to leave it on for the s'mores. This is our family's go-to! Definitely recommend.

Great
Works better than any other charcoal we have used. I would recommend this over many other brands that we have tried but this one just seems to be the best and burn the longest.

Yes!
Nothing beats the original! The coals add amazing flavor to whatever you're cooking. The heat is distributed evenly. Ash production is great.

No Other Can Compare
Kingsford has always been my preferred choice to charcoal when I am grilling. This charcoal lights pretty fast, burns evenly, and will burn for about 3 hours. The burn performance is amazing and no other charcoal can compare this brand. I say in about 15 minutes the bricks are white and ready. Kingsford will alway be number one to me and my family.
