Yeah, man you get a "method" named after you or you broadcast a little BBQ radio show and all kinds of stuff gets sent to you, jeeesh. ;)
 
What's could possibly be new about "competition" briquettes? Are they marked with a "c" instead of a "k?" No offense to anyone involved but this sounds like a BS marketing scheme to me!!! I hope I'm wrong because I think Kingsford has a good product already.

I feel safe in saying that it is not a scheme, Monty. Chris Lilly has put his neck out for this and I can't imagine he's looking to wreck his good name and accomplishments for a scheme! :D

I have not burned any of it yet but the ingredient list is different.
Wood char, veg starch as binder and a fraction of 1% of the weight of briquet is borax it is used as agent to easy the release of the briquet from the press.

Until I cook on it I can't say any more.
 
If it is good as Rancher, and easy to find as well, I am happy. I only got 10 bags of Rancher left.
 
As usual I have probably shot my mouth (or keyboard) off prematurely. I suppose my reservations should be a complement to Kingsford because I'm skeptical that they can make a better product. I would LOVE to be proven wrong - that would mean an even BETTER product for me to use! 8)
 
Well think it must be a variant of that Old Coke..New Coke commotion they had a few years back. Everybody made money on that deal. Now will ghurantee the Kingsford briquettes available nowadays are pure crap compared to the same model back when I was a young whuppersnapper..now them was purty good. I suspect they just start making them the old way as when they had a decent product..Mark em as comp quality or Classic...and raise the price. That should work.

That's what it says on the bag.

Who knows?

Think it's called marketing. The commercial processes involved in promoting and selling and distributing a product. :roll: ;) :LOL:
