im a pretty loyal kingsford user and have rolled with all their changes over the years in bags, weights, briquette recipe and design... but since the most recent change this year ive definitely noted several changes: A) my briquettes no longer burn completely out... they have previously always burned completely out, every time usually without exception... and ive changed nothing in my methods. B) they generate a lot more ash, and its a heavy ash, there is more ash in the bottom of my pits and my ash pans fill quicker and sooner. do they cook the same? yes, I havent noticed a difference here. do they last as long? well yes and no. yes in time/duration but no in they don't burn as evenly and as I said above some go out instead of burning out and I have to stoke or add more coal on cooks where I normally have not.
do any of yall have comments or notes or observations? im a heavy user - currently I have over 70 bags in my garage. so id really be interested to hear from others out here since now weve all had time to notice any changes.
thanks for any other replies.
don't lift the lid...
