On vacation trying to grill for my family. I've been standing out here trying to light this charcoal for over an hour. Don't waste your money on Kingsford. Use any other brand, ready to grill in 10 minutes? Yeah right. I'd really like a refund because Kingsford has ruined this night of vacation. If there was a choice to give this product 0 stars, that's what it would get.

I've always been a die hard fan of this charcoal but something has changed with the texture within the last year. The charcoals are burning out way too fast. I've purchased several bags from different stores over the past few months and they're all cooking the same. Previously, the charcoals would burn with flames consistently once the juice from the meat hits them and the charcoals were hot. Now, they're barely staying lit and the charcoals are cooking down, filling the grill with ash within 10 minutes. This is becoming very frustrating. Hopefully this will pass and the product is made how it used to be. Until then, I guess I'll be using the regular charcoal that requires lighter fluid.

I was expecting it to cook longer than it did because I use this charcoal every summer. This time I had to empty out and refill was so time consuming I only cooked hotdogs, sausages, and hamburgers. Normally I cook chicken, steak, and ribs. Maybe it was a bad bag.

For the past year when we buy this most of the time it won't even light when it is first opened, no tear in the bag or anything. Not sure why the quality has gone down but now we have to buy lighter fluid to keep around so now we are looking into buying another brand.

I have been using Match Light for many years and it's better than the rest when it comes to lighting quickly and keeping the heat. I don't always like the flavor some of the food gets because of this charcoal so I do mix it with wood chips for different flavor on chicken especially.

Bought large bag of Kingsford Matchlight charcoal so I could just light it and be done. However, after 20 minuets of trying to light it, finally gave up and cooked inside. I tried matches, paper, fully lit matchbooks to no avail. I would never buy this charcoal again. Waste of money!!

A friend of mine recently recommended this particular brand of charcoal. Purchased a bag yesterday and was amazed! The charcoals burned so smoothly and grilled my food to perfection! This will now be the only brand that I purchase in the near future! Definitely recommending this to other!

I have used Kingsford for all of my adult life but the last year or so I have noticed that the brickets are not lighting like they use to. This includes the one I am reviewing now the MatchLight. I have had to use lighter fluid and in fact it isn't working as well as in the past . WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR PRODUCT!!!! I know I won't receive an answer but just thought I would send in a review!!!

Tried to light this for over 10 minutes!! Finally had to go buy lighter fluid to get it started!! It's the second time I've had this problem with the same product. Thought it was just a fluke the first time. Now, I know it's just a terrible product that I will NEVER waste my money on again. Kingsford can keep their junk!

Kingsford is by far the best charcoal on the market. And the match light is my favorite as it gets me cooking so much faster. What I love about Kingsford specifically is that you never have to worry about lighting it over and over like the knock off brands. Go kingsford.
