Kingsford is a brand of charcoal used for grilling, along with related products. The brand is owned by The Clorox Company. Currently, the Kingsford Products Company remains the leading manufacturer of charcoal in the US, enjoying 80 percent market share. More than 1 million tons of wood scraps are converted into charcoal briquets annually.
The Kingsford Company was formed by Henry Ford and E.G. Kingsford during the early 1920s. 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. The company, originally called Ford Iron Mountain Plant, was renamed in E.G.’s honor.

Ardis meant in the city of Kingsford, which had been half burned down by a disastrous fire a little more than two years ago.

But a hot, high wind combined with the driest summer on record had contributed to spreading the fire out of control, while the uprising within the Cloister walls had ensured that there were no mages to spare to fight those fires, and when it was all over, the greater part of Kingsford lay in ruins.
His actions had earned him the undying loyalty of all of Kingsford, and the title "Good Duke Arden.
If the idiots that started those fires didn't perish in the conflagration, they had better be so far from Kingsford that humans are an oddity.
Others, like the Justiciars' Kingsford Abbey, were more discreet, and called the section by the term "repentance retreat.
The only thing that she could think to do was to send letters to the Clerks of the Records of all the other Orders, describing the runaways, advising that they might try to set themselves up in their own parishes, and asking that copies of any suspicious inquiries be sent to Kingsford Abbey.
The one miracle was that some of the warehouses where the tents used in the Kingsford Faire were stored had been spared.
So as a result, the new Kingsford was a great deal like the old Kingsford.
So she had held her peace, and as Kingsford rose Phoenix-like out of the ashes, she did her best to counsel and console him when some of his city's new-grown "feathers" were broken, dirty, or stunted.
I cannot ever recall hearing of that many murder-suicides in a single year in Kingsford, and this is a far larger city than little Haldene!
