I’ve been really pleased with Kingsford Original Charcoal. It lasts much longer than regular charcoal, helping keep the heat steady for an extended time — which means you can cook longer without constantly adding more. You also don’t need to use a lot to get great results, making it quite efficient. The only downside is that it can be a bit tricky and slow to get started, but once it’s going, it performs beautifully. Overall, a reliable and solid choice for grilling.
The best of the best!

I’ve been using Kingsford Charcoal for years, and it never lets me down. It lights up pretty easily, gets hot fast, and stays hot long enough to get a good sear or slow cook if you need it. Whether I’m grilling burgers for a quick dinner or smoking ribs on the weekend, it holds up great.
Wonderful

This is the only charcoal used in my used for generations. The food is always Smokey and flavorful. It really depends on how your cooking your meat on how much time it will take for it it light but it doesn’t normally take long. It does take a while for them to cool down after you’re done cooking.

I'm loving my Kingsford Original Charcoal! It lights up fast and burns consistently, giving my grilled meats that perfect smoky flavor. I've used it for burgers, steaks, and veggies, and it's always a hit. The long burn time is great for bigger gatherings. My only reason for not giving it 5 stars is that it can produce a bit of ash, but that's a small trade-off for the amazing taste it delivers. Highly recommend for any grill master.
