Kingsford Long Burning

[ecowper]

Has anyone tried out Kingsford Long Burning? Any idea where to get it? I’ve never seen it until I was on the Kingsford website. They claim it burns 25% longer than a comparable amount of KBB .... that would be awesome for pork butt and brisket cooks.

IMHO....Kingsford Long Burning not much better than Original Blue Bag. Try the Weber Briquettes if you want longer burning. They are more expensive, but for real long cooks, worth it.

I have tried Weber Briquettes and found them to be very difficult to get started .... had any experience with that?

ecowper To think about it, the two or three times I've used them I started with the Original BB for several hours and reloaded with Weber.

For the past two years I've used Kingsford Professional (loaded up on Costco sales). This year I've only used KBB (haven't been to Costco much this summer). Holy cow, I forgot how much ash KBB produces. Intrigued by Weber but that price tag...

Reds Fan 5 Yeah, I do love Kingsford Pro .... so much less ash, so much less weird non-wood ingredients .... Was really wondering if Kingsford Long Burning is "all that" .... KBB .... so much ash, doesn’t burn as hot

I’m going back to K Pro if I can find it. I upgraded from a 22” to a 26” last year. Despite what many people report I need more KBB coals to get it up to temp (with or without SnS). The hotter burning pro saved on a few briquettes over the season. But anything to cut down on the ash!
