By Mike Kossor - Kenilworth, NJ on Sunday, November 19, 2017 - 12:45 pm:Interesting read, thanks for sharing with the forum.
By Eric Sole - Barcelona area (Spain) on Sunday, November 19, 2017 - 01:34 pm:Really neat story Guy. I wasn't aware of the family relationship between Kingsford and Ford.
By Keith Gumbinger, Kenosha, WI on Sunday, November 19, 2017 - 04:21 pm:Guy, That's a very nice & informative article you wrote. Thanks for posting it here for all of us.
BTW, Is the nickname for the Kingsford High School sports teams still "The Flivvers"? I know it was about 10 years ago when our T Club Chapter, The
Dairyland Tin Lizzies, visited there, but it may have changed since then.

By Guy Forstrom on Sunday, November 19, 2017 - 05:43 pm:Keith, Still and always the Flivver's,
By Charlie B actually in Toms River N.J. on Sunday, November 19, 2017 - 05:52 pm:Any truth to the tale about a flivver appearing on the bag at one time? I don't see one in the picture.
By Rich Bingham, Blackfoot, Idaho on Sunday, November 19, 2017 - 06:40 pm:Guy, excellent article, thank you for that. It's fun to know the wherefore of these things. Funny, I've always felt Kingsford briquets are the best !! ( goes with being a Model T guy ? )
By Mark Strange - Hillsboro, MO on Sunday, November 19, 2017 - 06:59 pm: By Jim Davis on Sunday, November 19, 2017 - 10:11 pm:The current production run of Kingsford Charcoal Briquette's has a short abbreviated history on the bag about the Ford connection.
By David Stroud on Monday, November 20, 2017 - 05:32 am:If any of you haven't seen how a "briquetter" works, it's quite a machine. In a past life, I was a maintenance foreman in a lead recycling plant. We used one of those to make lead dust that was recycled into briquettes to run back through the blast furnace. That's where I became a huge believer in red Loctite, but that's another story. Dave
