Royal oak burns up too fast for smoking imo. Kingsford is what I use to start my fire as it burns way longer. By the way it is okay, not too good or bad.
A barbecue staple!!

Unbeatable flavor with unbeatable time to lighting these up! They burn for a long time and ashes stay down while cooking and removing the lid. They sure do burn hot, what you’d expect from a quality coal!

I've always used Kingsford charcoal, and usually the original version of the product. It's very consistent, lights easily, and burns completely and evenly. I find the flavor to be a great "classic" grill taste, especially since I use a charcoal chimney without any lighter fluid. I've never had any issues with heat output; the times I've misjudged the amount of charcoal I needed, its always been easy to throw on a few more coals.

This is the brand my dad used while growing up, and it’s the brand I rely on now as an adult when making barbecue. It’s tried and true, comes in a nice thick paper bag, always burns evenly and cooks meats and vegetables very well.
Amazing flavor

I’ve been using Kingsford Original for a while now, and it never lets me down. It lights up quickly without much effort, which makes getting the grill going super easy. Once it’s going, it gives off a steady heat and that classic smoky flavor that really comes through in the food. I especially like it for burgers, but honestly, everything tastes better over it—steaks, veggies, even hot dogs. If you’re looking for reliable charcoal that adds great flavor, this is it.
Overall fantastic product

Used Kingsford charcoal all my life and my review

So i have used Kingsford charcoal all my life from 18 to today and I have to say the original was always my favorite. I did have a few issues lighting one bag i bought years ago. I think it was because it was old and in the basement of a place. Keep your charcoal in a cool dry place never in a wet basement or any place like that otherwise you will have that issue too! Kingsford has been a family favorite for generations in my family! if only it wasnt 104 here today would have been the perfect grill time! Thanks Kingsford for years of family outtings and fun!

We use king ford to cook and smoke on all of our grills. We are avid grillers and do competitions and kingsford is the best. It heats up quick, we usually use a fire starter cube, it lights quick, and the coals get hot fast and burn for a long time. It produces a good amount of ash but most grills have an ash pan for easy cleanup. Highly recommend and it comes in so many styles now we also love the mesquite flavor for a good smoke.
great charcoal

Nothing beats charcoal when it comes to flavor and maintaining temperature when grilling. Its quick to light and leaves little residue when grilling.
