    Probably the most known charcoal and most used. I find it easily at all stores and works great to use on the grill. It lasts pretty long too and doesn't take long to light up.

    I’ve been using Kingsford charcoal for better than 15 years. I’ve tried other brands on occasion but always return to Kingsford. It lights easily, burns long with consistent heat and always gives what ever you’re grilling that desirable smoky charcoal flavor.

    This is my go to charcoal for barbecues. It starts up relatively quickly and it keeps the heat for a while and it’s easy to use from cooking chicken and making burgers and there’s no extra ashy flavor to the meat. The burn time is great at last long time and it doesn’t produce a lot of ash

    There is nothing better than cooking a steak over Kingsford Charcoal. The coals stay hot for so long, and they heat up evenly every single time! They add the best flavor to any food you may be grilling.

    This product has good grilling performance with a noticeable flavor intensity. The heat output appears to be satisfactory, and the lighting time is quick. Finally, the ash production is a manageable.

    Kingsford Original Charcoal is a staple for every barbecue lover. It lights up quickly, produces consistent high heat, and keeps a long burn time perfect for slow-cooking meats or grilling veggies. The flavor it imparts to food is that classic smoky BBQ taste you expect. Cleanup is easy too—there's minimal ash left behind. I’ve used it multiple times, and it never disappoints. Whether you're hosting a cookout or just grilling for the family, this charcoal gets the job done efficiently and reliably every time.

    One of the best things about Kingsford charcoal is its reliable burn time. It lights quickly and maintains a steady heat, making it perfect for both direct and indirect grilling. Kingsford charcoal is priced fairly. It’s more affordable than some other premium brands but still offers superior quality

    Kingsford will keep you grilling

    Listen… if you’re trying to fire up that grill and keep it classic, Kingsford Original is where it’s at. This twin pack gives you about 8 uses total, and let me just say—it delivers every single time. These briquets light up easy (especially with a chimney starter), burn hot, and give your food that real backyard flavor. I’m talking smoky, rich, and straight-up mouthwatering. Plus, it’s made with 100% natural ingredients, so you know you’re not grilling with junk. We’ve used this for cookouts, family BBQs, even just weekend burgers—and it never disappoints. It’s consistent, long-burning, and gives you that “everybody asking who’s on the grill” type of energy. Solid 10/10 for flavor, ease of use, and value—especially with the twin pack. Definitely a must-have for grill season.

    This is by far the best best performing charcoal on the market with the best heat output. The lighting time is decent and the flavor is amazing. My family had used this for as long as I can remember for chicken bbqs.
