Some say that early on, Kingsford gave away charcoal stoves to promote the sale of charcoal...
Charcoal was developed from Ford Motor Company's factory waste wood scrap. 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.
