Kingsford customer service in the US is its in-house Consumer Care team, which you can call or text on 800-232-4745 on weekdays, or reach through live chat and an email form on the Kingsford contact page, linked in the contact details above. Have the bag in front of you: consumer care will usually ask for the product name and bag size, the lot code or date printed on the bag, and where and when you bought it.

Bag torn, damp or short? Start your complaint here as well, and we push it out to Kingsford by email, social media and printed letters.

If Kingsford charcoal will not light, burns out quickly or smells unusual, check the bag for damp or damage and read the lighting directions printed on it, since they differ from one Kingsford product to another. If the problem stays, keep the bag with what is left, photograph the briquets and the lot code or date on the bag, and note the store, the date of purchase and how the bag was stored. Then report it to Kingsford Consumer Care by phone, text, chat or the email form.

Whole bag that will not catch? Open a case with us: our trained AI keeps coaching you on what to send Kingsford and when to push again.

For a refund on Kingsford charcoal or pellets that were damp, torn or would not burn properly, the store that sold the bag decides under its own return policy whether it takes it back, so bring the receipt. You can also contact Kingsford Consumer Care with the product, bag size, the lot code or date from the bag, the receipt and the store, and ask what it can offer. Keep the bag and the receipt until the matter is settled.

Paid for a bag that would not burn? We help you write the complaint in minutes through our complaint process, with the lot code, photos and receipt set out.
