Kingsford is the biggest manufacturer of charcoal in the USA, converting more than a million tons of wood scrapes into charcoal each year. They began in the 1920s when Henry Ford found a way to turn wood scrapes from his Model-T automobile production into charcoal. The business was eventually taken over by E.G. Kingsford, a family member. It is now owned by The Clorox Company.
