The best!
This is the only charcoal my family use. Our barbecue comes out flavorful without tasting like smoke and lighter fluid. One bag tends to last us a while and we’ve found really good deals when we get them from Sams. Charcoals stay lite for a good time as well so we don’t have to use too many.

Nothing Like The Classic Charcoal!
Nothing like the classic, original charcoal! Packaged in a thick, dense bag, so no worries for messes! Bag is eco friendly and recyclable as it is paper! This charcoal adds an intense grilled flavor to your food! Helps get the heat directly to the food instead of making lots of ash residue! Recommend 10/10!

Great charcoal
Kingsford charcoal is the best quality charcoal you can get! It lights up easily and burns hot for a long time. It doesn’t leave any bad taste or smell. I’ve been using this brand for years, I’ve tried others before but they burn out quickly and don’t allow for a great sear that I’m looking for when I bbq. I would recommend this brand to any charcoal grill lover.

Kingsford Original Charcoal is still the best charcoal. out there. Burns long giving off level heat. thick paper bag that's water resistant. Can be used to cook food today marshmallows and even as a heat source on those cool summer and fall evenings. The scent brings back wonderful memories of my childhood

Must have for grilling
This charcoal lights so easily and maintains it's heat while grilling for hours! It doesn't have a smell and it's ash is minimal. The packaging is durable too so I don't worry about it breaking open on travel

Perfect!
Perfect charcoal for barbecuing. Best part about it is they offer an array of different flavored charcoal. My favorite is the mesquite. It’s also super affordable and can be found at almost any grocery store. Even gas stations tend to have them. It doesn’t leave a lot of ash residue and the heat output is great.

Great Charcoal for BBQ
Kingsford charcoal is our go to for BBQ. The charcoal lights up easily. It stays warm in the pit. So your food comes out tender and flavorful. This charcoal stays hot that it smokes the food. If it burns it’s the cook, not the charcoal.

Wasteful
Honestly these are impossible to light. You have to use so much lighter fluid, then the burn off stinks so bad and it transfers to your food. Just grab the match light version instead.
