About average as most charcoal briquettes.
The flavor intensity is about the same as most charcoal briquettes and the heat output is not too bad. Ash residue and burn time are about average briquettes. Briquettes are better for low and slow cooking, rather than lump charcoal for fast cooking.

Kingsford professional Briquets
Kingsford professional Briquets is a good brand, it lights on fire quickly and doesn’t leave a burnt taste on any of the food for your grill! It does leave a lot of ash’s but nothing we can’t handle! I would definitely recommend if you have a small or big grill

Best charcoal on the market!
Best charcoal on the market. Long clean burn, even heat distribution. I have won multiple competitions using Kingsford Professional Charcoal and it’s the only product I trust whether I’m cooking at home or competitively.

Best charcoal brand!
This is my husband's favorite charcoal brand! He loves to use this in his Weber grill. The charcoal burns evenly and long lasting briquets. Perfect for the summer time cookouts and occasional winter ones too!

Best!!
Kingsford Professional is the best!!! Burn out quickly! And its leaves a lot less ash too, which is not as crazy messy. Always delicious meat and vegetables! Can’t recommend it enough!

I switched from lump
I have primarily been using lump charcoal since I went back to charcoal grilling. I had tried several brands of easily available lump. They were fine, they cooked fine, nice and hot. I just always got this heavy smoke almost a hint of diesel and it bothered me. I randomly bought a 2 bag pack at BJs I think, only because it was there. I have stayed with it. It's very consistent and I still smell like smoke but I don't get any unpleasant smells from it. I am very happy so far and will stay with it because it works so well.

Kingsford professional briquettes
Loved the heat that the Kingsford professional briquettes produced. The skin on the chicken that I bbqed was amazingly crispy and the flavor was amazing.

Nice Burn!!!
Hands down the Kingsford professional competition brand is the best I have ever used in my smoker. My spare ribs have never been better. I got a nice long burn. It was really easy to keep the temperature that I wanted and I was just completely impressed with the flavor that was set into the meat. Way to go Kingsford!!!!

Professional has great smoke flavor
Purchased some at end of last year.
Hoping it goes on sale and also is in stock for the coming grilling holidays.
Really enjoy the smoke flavor and high heat.
Also, you get the smoke of a chunk charcoal without all the sparks of a chunk charcoal.
Hoping to get a deal and load on on some in the Spring sales.

Great Product
It's great and does wonderful with steak especially when you want that wooden char. My problem is I no longer can find it as we were buying it at Costco and they have not had any now more a couple of months but I did see Amazon had it for a ridiculous price of almost 70 Dollars for 2 bags and that's crazy. Guess I will have to go back to the regulars Charcoal

Long burning low ash high heat, great in smoker!
The first time I used these I could tell they were much hotter than original. The burgers had a nice sear and I come back to the grill 3 hours later to see that it was still holding at about 350 degrees! The next time I smoked a pork butt and the heat these retain over time is fantastic! Highly recommended!

TERRIBLE COMPARED TO ORIGINAL
LearnED person that will tell ya they don't burn hotter(tested with a 1500°C K2 thermocouple) and is NOT a low ash formula it's honestly the WORST charcoal I have ever used. Colder than lump and burns even faster. You can feel the lack of weight easily. The decent formulations of competition and long burn are gone cause they got cheap. Use original/lump.

Did not get very hot.
Usually use Kingsford Original. Purchased Kingsford Professional from Costco. It advertised it is the “hottest burning”and we thought two 18 pound packages were a good deal. This product was extremely disappointing. The coals did not get very hot. After taking an extremely long time in the grill, the chicken was still not cooked through. My husband literally could touch the coals with his hand.
We will only be purchasing the original from now on.
