    New products from Kingsford

    From what I've seen on the High Heat, Kingsford add some sawdust to the mix. Sawdust would burn hotter than normal coals. Regarding the Low and Slow, I read somewhere back that some fillers will lower the overall burn rate and the heat (because they don't add any heat). In my totally unqualified...
