I love the match light charcoal! i always hated putting the lighter fluid on the charcoal because it smelled so bad and i was always afraid that the fumes were soaking into my food. i don't worry about that with match light and it is SO MUCH EASIER to light.

I've always used gas and decided to try the match light. WOW! After 20 minutes of trying to get it to light still no fire. Back to gas and a few bucks down the tube. I guess if I wanted to use the lighter fluid it would work but that's not what it's designed for.

I always used Match Light and loved how easy it was. Something has changed drastically. I have bought three different bags from three different stores and none of them would light. they were all bought to be used immediately. It's frustrating because it's not like you can bring it back to the store to get your wasted money back. I will not be wasting my money on this product any longer

The last two times I have purchased and used Kingsford Match Light, I have had to go to the store and purchase lighter fluid because it won't start. I almost used an entire box of matches once trying to get it to light. The bag says, "No lighter fluid needed. Coals ready in 10 minutes." If this product doesn't get better, I will not recommend it for the price. Spend the money on the regular charcoal and lighter fluid. Kingsford, I have always purchased your products because they have been the best. However, you are letting your grill masters down lately. Help us out, please.

I had picked up a bag in the local grocery for a small gathering I was responsible for cooking the charcoal would not light I had to go get a bottle of lighter fluid and use about half of it to get the charcoal to burn. I have used your product in the past not sure why this product failed and unfortunately I burned the bag trying to get it lit I was agitated and didn't think to get the UPC code. I'm sure I will use it again but I just wanted to let you know of my dissatisfaction.

I was so disappointed with this product that I felt compelled to write a review ( something I've never done before). After lighting the coals & waiting for 30 minutes before the flames finally died out, I put on a beer can chicken ( which usually takes an1 1/2 hours over med. heat ) , coals never really generated any heat, took over 3hrs cooking time, had to add more coals & use almost a full 12.5 lb bag of coals to cook 1 3-4 lb chicken...wish I would have kept the receipt because I would have bagged the ashes with the remaining coals & RETURNED THEM!!!!

Bought a bag of Match Light yesterday, and it was VERY difficult to light. We used many matches, and finally got out a gas lighter that could put a constant flame on the briquets. Still, they are not all lit up like they normally did in the past. So, we're patiently waiting to see if they will stay lit. Frustrating, since we've never had this problem before with Match Light. Wondering if we got an old bag.

My husband and I have purchased Matchlight for years. However, the current bag we purchased will not light. We have never had this happen even if the bag is old. Did you change the formula or is this a bad bag? We are taking it back to the store to see what they will do about it. Hopefully this is just a bad bag.

I was hosting a tailgate party at a New York Islanders game and used Kingsford Match Light charcoal. My #1 choice for charcoal when on the road! It's fast lighting and long burning characteristics are the reasons that I always choose Kingsford Match Light charcoal!!

I have used your product for many years with great results. in all this time only one bag did not come up to your standards . Then last night I opened a new large bag & could not get it to light. Fotunately I had another bag that did work. I looked for a batch # on the bag but could not find one . This is still a great product but I don't know what went wrong
