Glad to see I am not the only loyal one who is not happy on not being able to purchase 20 pound bags. Your charcoal used to be the best choice/value but things have changed. Because of the downsize price increase- I am going to give other charcoals a chance again. I am a proud Weber Charcoal griller, but not going to stay that loyal anymore.

Kingsford disappoints again
3 years ago
Two years ago Kingsford came out with a new formula. It would not create or maintain a grilling temperature. It seemed as though they responded to complaints and in 2022, the product was good again. Now, my first purchase in 2023, which is not only suffering from shrinkflation (16 lb bags instead of 20lb) we’re back to heat not achieving high heat (450 plus) but when it gets to 400 degrees, it will not hold that temperature for even 15 minutes! Very disappointed and probably will not purchase again!!
No, I do not recommend this product.

Alphonse, thanks for sharing your experience, and we're so sorry to learn of your disappointment with our Original Charcoal Briquettes. Although our briquettes are ready to be used within 15 minutes of lighting, they should still burn as long and hot as our previous charcoal. You’ll need to put the food on the grill earlier to take advantage of its extended cooking time. While we sincerely hope this is helpful, we'd love to speak with you directly at 800-232-4745, and please have the reference number 230526-000080 handy. We hope to hear from you soon.

As a guy who has been grilling 50+ years and has used many different brands and types of charcoal I can honestly say Kingsford Original charcoal briquettes represent the best quality and value available to “grillers” of any level of ability. Easy lighting, ready quick, consistent burns, hot or slow, and long lasting! If you know how to properly operate your grill, you wont find a better product! Highly recommended!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Kingsford Charcoal

I have always purchased Kingsford Charcoal because of the quality. I recently purchased a bag for a cookout and I am sorry to tell you the quality was poor. It started fine but when the charcoal started to get white on the edges the heat was very poor. Not good when you have friends over.

Short burn time and temperature
4 years ago
I don't know what you did, but this is much different now. As soon as I picked the bag up, I noticed it was significantly lighter than expected. Then I noticed that the coals burned half the time I typically get and also didn't get as hot. I smoke my meats, slow and low. I had a hard time getting to 250F with indirect heat and then I had to add more coals approximately every hour. Normally I can get to temp quickly and it will burn for 2hrs before I have to add more coals.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. At Kingsford, we aim to make grilling more convenient while preserving what makes it so special. Lighter briquettes are easier to transport and more convenient. Importantly, while the weight of each briquet has changed, they have the same number of briquets and should burn as long. We'd love to help. Please call us at 800-232-4745 mentioning this reference number 220224-000389, so we can. We hope to hear from you soon. Shannon from The Kingsford Team

Great Product
4 years ago
The reviews that complain about the product not lighting, burning, whatever, are simple insane. I’ve been grilling and smoking with this stuff for a decade in my Weber kettle and Smoky Mountain Bullet smoker, including several overnight smokes. Lighting is a cinch with a chimney and the briquettes burn perfectly. Great product!
Yes, I recommend this product.

match light wouldn't light
4 years ago
we bought a new bag of Kingsford Match Light a week before Thanksgiving. We have a tradition of grilling our turkey, and have been using Kingsford for almost three decades. This year, however, it did not turn out well. I set up the grill, a Weber Kettle, as usual, put in the charcoal, AND IT WOULD NOT LIGHT. I finally had to resort to a sizeable dose of charcoal lighter fluid to start the coals, and even then, the coals did not get hot enough to adequately cook the turkey. I finally had to resort to finishing it on our gas grill, and still ended up with a delayed dinner. I don't know what happened to Kingsford, but will be looking for another alternative in the future.
No, I do not recommend this product.

for orchids
5 years ago
I was wondering if you put any chemicals in your original formula. I need natural charcoal (which your packaging indicates ) for the purpose of putting in the bottom of pots for propagating orchids. I use your original product for grilling and am very satisfied but don't know if you have any chemicals in this variety.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Kingsford Original
5 years ago
My most recent experiences with Kingsford have been awful. Not sure if the formulas has changed, but the coals don't last as long as they have in the past. In the past I was able to cook several rounds of steaks, but now I can barely make it thru a second round. Please go back to your original formula.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Thanks for reaching out with your experience using our Original Charcoal Briquettes, and we'd love to help. We wanted to be sure you know that Kingsford Original charcoal briquets are now ready to cook about 15 minutes after lighting them up. If you're cooking for more than 40 minutes, you will probably need to add more briquets to the fire. We'd love the chance to make this experience up to you, so please give us a call directly at 800-232-4745 with this reference number 211026-000230. We hope you'll give us a call real soon.

Absolute garbage
5 years ago
I've been using this for decades, but no more. Despite using it in a charcoal chimney with newspapers -- as I have for many years -- it doesn't burn. I'm not sure if it's some kind of EPA restriction or what, but it no longer burns and is absolute garbage these days.
No, I do not recommend this product.
