Let's be honest. There's a lot of stuff on the market today that's marketed as "premium" that's not really worth the extra money for most people. "Premium" gasoline, "Premium" coffee you name it. Most of it is the product of good marketing convincing people that they have to have the best. It's fake-luxury at it's finest.
That being said there are a few things in life that are worth paying extra in order to get 'premium' quality.
Foremost among these is charcoal. Buy the sub-par stuff one time and you'll see what I mean. Stick with Kingsford* or, better yet, hardwood charcoal. You won't regret it.
*Dear FTC**: No, I haven't received anything free for this post, nor I been financially rewarded for saying Kingsford charcoal is superior. I buy my own weekly at the store thank you very much. (That being said, if someone from Kingsford wants to talk a sponsorship deal....hey, I do a LOT of grilling.)

Ha, I generally agree.
I have to say, though, that I got a nice coupon a couple of years ago for Kroger brand charcoal that was already heavily discounted (end of summer, which in Houston affects grilling.... not at all, but Kroger is a big ol national company)... and it was pretty good.
Hardwood baby, that's where it's at.
