Since the 1920s, Kingsford® charcoal has been committed to quality, using real wood to make charcoal briquets and giving barbecue-lovers the real taste and smell of charcoal grilling.
We put a lot of thought into how we manufacture our Kingsford® charcoal products — whether it's converting wood waste into useful fuels, reusing combustion gases to generate heat for use in production water or containing process water to be reused for the next batch of charcoal.
From our signature charcoal to our wood chips with natural hickory or mesquite flavor, we offer a range of bestselling products for your every grilling need.
Fun Facts
- Kingsford® charcoal began in the 1920s, when Henry Ford learned about a process for turning wood scraps from the production of Model T's into charcoal briquets.
- Today, more than 1 million tons of wood scraps are converted into quality charcoal briquets every year.
- The shelf life of Kingsford® charcoal is indefinite, as long as the product is stored in a cool, dry place and the bag is reclosed properly after each use.
