USING CHARCOAL AND WOOD 

 

CHARCOAL 
Your KINGSFORD® CHARCOAL GRILL is made to burn either charcoal briquettes or natural wood 
lump charcoal – both of which have different cooking attributes.    Briquettes typically provide longer 
burn times than lump charcoal – but lump charcoal burns hotter than briquettes.    Using the charcoal 
pan  access  door  to  add  more  charcoal  makes  both  briquettes  and  lump  easy  and  convenient  for 
extended cooking times. 
 
SMOKING WOODS 
Adding smoking woods to your KINGSFORD® CHARCOAL GRILL is an easy and effective way to 
create wonderful flavor combinations for all types of grilled, barbecued, or slow smoked foods. Wood 
chips are typically used for shorter cooking times, where chunks are better for longer cooking times. 
 
When choosing smoking woods, the rule of thumb is to use a fruited hardwood  – from a tree that 
bears a nut, fruit, or berry.    The most popular and widely available smoking woods are hickory and 
mesquite.    Hickory imparts a milder flavor, where mesquite is more intense.    Other common wood 
varieties are oak, apple, pecan, cherry, etc. 
 
It is important to never use pine, cedar, or kiln dried wood – and any smoking woods should be well 
cured.    Green wood still contains all the sap and moisture needed to keep the tree alive, and will 
impart a super strong-tasting smoke that will turn your foods black.    Also, when you try burning green 
wood, it is hard to reach a good temperature, because all the moisture inside the wood almost puts 
the  fire  out  while  it’s  burning.    Well-cured  wood  lights  easily,  maintains  cooking  temperature,  and 
produces a great tasting smoke flavor that isn’t too strong. 
 
The amount of smoke flavor imparted to your food can be controlled by not just the type of wood you 
use  (whether  a  mild  wood  or  more  intense),  but  also  by  the  length  of  time  the  meat  is  smoked.   
Barbecuing typically adds more smoke flavor to food than grilling, due to the longer cooking times.   
You can also control the amount of smoke flavor by wrapping meats in aluminum foil for part of the 
cooking process.    Cook meat for ½ to 2/3 of the total cooking time, or until it looks to be the perfect 
color.    Then wrap the meat in foil and finish cooking the meat until done.
