Just a little heads up here since Charcoal is a popular topic.
Guess I should have called this "Fire Food Fixins a la Ford"
or maybe "Blue Oval BBQ"
Kingsford Charcoal
Bringing you real BBQ flavors since 1920
Henry Ford learned of a process for turning wood scraps from the production of Model T’s into charcoal briquets. So, he built a charcoal plant — and the rest is history.
Surprising beginnings
The Kingsford Company was formed when E.G. Kingsford, a relative of Ford’s, brokered the site selection for Ford’s new charcoal manufacturing plant. The company, originally called Ford Charcoal, was renamed Kingsford® Charcoal in his honor.
