Kingsford 71704 Mesquite Briquettes Review

Kingsford 71704 Mesquite Briquettes

I've used Kingsford Charcoal all my life, so I didn't hesitate to buy this, as I like Mesquite wood and we cannot get it easily here in Wisconsin. I don't know if I got a bad bag, but 1) the briquettes did not heat easily....I doused all briquettes evenly, lit 3 sides of the stack, had the normal flare up of flames and then waited the normal amount of time...I came back to 1/4th of the briquettes burning hot and 3/4 not burning at all. I put more fluid on the cold ones, lit them again, came back to a similar problem, 1/2 and 1/2 this time. Plus, I was getting a lot of smoke, not the normal fire one expects. Finally, I went down to the local store and bought some normal ones (ie. Kingsford in the blue and white bag). Put them on top of the mesquite ones and finally got the grill going so that I could grill my food. Last night, having only these mesquite briquettes left and needing to grill, I had the same problem and couldn't get all of my grilling done because of their uneven start up.
On top of all that, I can not discern any mesquite in the cooked meat, or in the smoke itself. Definitely will not purchase again. Sorry, Kingsford.

Outset QS10, Chimney Grill Starter (stainless-steel/5 lb capacity) Review

We've had these chimney type grill starters for a while now, and they all seems to just fall apart after a coouple dozen uses. I don't think this one will. Solid stainless with heavy wall construction and very well built. Worked with one piece of newspaper first time and out since then. Looking forward to using this for years to come. I think the extra cost for the extra quality is well worth the investment.

Outset Q110, Chimney Grill Starter (zinc/5lb capacity) Review

We've been using this starter all summer. It's worked well for us and is holding up just fine so far. My only complaint would be that it's a bit small so it doesn't hold enough coals to cook for company. I'm here today to order another one to solve that problem. I love that it heats the coals up so fast and that we don't have to add lighter fluid (waste of money, bad for the environment, bad for us if any gets on our food). And not a drawback of the design or anything like that, but if you've never used one of these before, watch it carefully the first few times. It works pretty fast and gets HOT so if you leave the coals in there too long, they'll start to burn out and you'll waste time you could've used for cooking (they might cool off/burn out completely before you're done grilling).
