Why does Kingsford Ash feel like there's sand in it

That would probably be the clay used as a binder to hold the briquette together.

Went to Lowe's and bought some. Used my Military and got it for less than that. Kingsford is the best that I have ever used. I BBQ a lot for the past 50 years.

How does that apply to a Dutch Oven. With a lid? We have DO people here who use this stuff with no ill effect because the ash doesn't get into the food - because of the lid. This thread was directed at those who do camp Dutch Oven cooking.

I quit using charcoal briquettes a few years ago. I only cook on real chunk charcoal now. Briquettes have lots of stuff in them besides charcoal and none of it is good to ingest.

You ingest the charcoal???:E
I wouldn't recommend that either no matter what brand!

Kingsford has an even burn that works well for dutch oven cooking for better results. None of the charcoal gets inside the pot.

X2 thumbs down for all the filler Kingsford uses. If the natural hardwood lump were easier to find here I'd use it.

Wallyworld and Meijers has it now. I got the last bag at Meijers this summer.

Too bad you can't use charcoal bbq's in most state parks in WA state due to the burn/fire ban and that the fire danger is set to HIGH for most areas..

Propane, no problem... :)
