I summarized to the list too quickly. I was under the impression I wouldn't
hear from Kingsford for a while. I was wrong. Here is what they say about
gluten in their briquets. I have no comment other than to present it:


"Thank you for taking the time to contact us about KINGSFORD Briquets. We
appreciate your interest in our products.

Both corn and wheat starches are used in this product, but we predominantly
use cornstarch. In any case, the briquets burn at such a high temperature
that the starch is burned, it does not transfer to the food.

If I can be of further assistance to you, please contact me again.

Again, thank you for contacting us.


Sincerely,

Terry Dittus
