I do like the Professional (no-mo competition) briquettes for high heat grilling. In our little experiment the Original and Long Burning seem to be the same. As a consumer it is confusing. Since I do such a volume of cooking with charcoal briquettes my briquette choice is usually economic.Chilebrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02321501332367002893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332820739056189386.post-65324057636890218082017-02-08T18:45:51.421-08:002017-02-08T18:45:51.421-08:00I was confused how the product position was suppos...I was confused how the product position was supposed to be between the blue bag and professional (fka competition). Is it 25% longer burning than original or 25% longer than the "longest burning" professional.

Buying the Kingsford Original at sale prices makes the Long Burning and Professional very costly even if they did burn 25 percent longer.Chilebrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02321501332367002893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332820739056189386.post-82883102557420427972017-01-31T09:43:49.695-08:002017-01-31T09:43:49.695-08:00I did the math using Wal-Mart web pricing, not on ...I did the math using Wal-Mart web pricing, not on sale, no shipping. I think it should be pretty representative of "out of season," non-bulk package pricing.<br /><br />Kingsford Original, 15.4 lb bag for $12.59 = $0.051/oz<br />Long Burning, 11.1 lb bag for $9.76 = $0.055/oz<br />Professional, 11.1 lb bag for $14.08 = $0.079/ozAaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09567147517146448607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332820739056189386.post-30245146762090901652017-01-31T08:36:04.564-08:002017-01-31T08:36:04.564-08:00Mr Brown, all I have to say is it's a good thi...Mr Brown, all I have to say is it's a good thing Kingsford didn't call it Bacon long burn charcoal you would have purchased a pallet.

One bag of Original might weigh 18.5 pds while ours weighed 11.1 pds. There is no standard packaging practice and the weights change constantly. The prices also change seasonally and store by store. I always buy in bulk when they go on sale.Chilebrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02321501332367002893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332820739056189386.post-43017414871234644762017-01-31T04:41:01.745-08:002017-01-31T04:41:01.745-08:00I'm not surprised as companies like to do thin...I'm not surprised as companies like to do things like that - notice that they are just LONG burning and not LONGER burning, which is what most of us would likely conclude from the name. Did they cost the same as original?Big Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18323692472052014378noreply@blogger.com
