I bought Kingsford Match Light. I would not buy this product again. No matter how many times I try to light it, I am unable to light. What a shame that it does not work. I have had three meals put off because of it. Guess I will have to purchase lighter fluid so that I am able to grill out.

This has been our choice in Charcoal for years! The "other" "cheap" kinds make the food taste weird so we stick with Kingsford Match Lite! I saw other posts about some of you not being able to get yours to stay lit or getting it to lite, my suggestion is change your place of purchase. I too have bought a couple bags before from little stores where the bags have sat and sat on their shelves. If it's been there too long, chances are the chemicals which helps it lite and stay lit have evaporated, or there is a tiny tear in the bag which let the chemicals evaporate. I will NEVER own a gas grill because you just can't get that same grill taste with gas! However, I would like to see coupons available to loyal customers like myself available to us on the Kingsford website. Would be a great gift considering we buy 30+ bags during the spring and summer!

I have used match light for all my BBQ and grilling this summer and it saved so much time verses other products I've used in the past. I had heard that it affects the flavor but after using I can personal say that it has no affect on that great grilled flavor I look for. I can't imagine ever going back to anything else.

I buy the 3.1 lb bag (Kingsford how about just 3.0 lbs) anyhow I put the whole bag into the bottom add a couple pounds regular charcoal, creating my 2 zone fire. Then sit back wait 15-30 minutes depending on weather. Result the best BBQ, and a perfect end to a perfect steak.

After years of using kingsford it has now become one of the worst "instant light" charcoals on the market. The past 4 bags purchased have never caught flame like they used to. EVERY SINGLE ONE has required the use of lighter fluid just like normal charcoal. I have to say the quality has definitely lost its touch over the past years. At one point I had even gone back to the grocery store for a store brand knock off that was way better. I kept going back to you, however you have continued to let me down. Its just another disappointment in what used to be a great brand. Sorry kingsford but you have now lost a loyal purchaser because of your product quality.

We have been buying Kingsford Match Light for years. We love it and we love Kingsford. The last 3 bags of Match Light we have bought have been horrible. They do not all ignite and they do not all burn. They also smoke horribly which we have never had a problem with before these last 3 bags. All 3 bags were bought at different stores-Dollar General, Fenn's Supermarket (local store) and Wal-Mart. Can not be said it was one bad batch. We are so disappointed in a product we have enjoyed using for years.

Just tried this product out today, I’m pretty peculiar about the charcoal I buy but decided to try this one out of convenience. Now I can’t say it didn’t work, it lighted instantly and I was happy that my food cooked fast, although the after taste wasn’t what I was expecting. It basically tasted like charcoal mixed with lighter fluid. Obviously while grilling you’re always gonna get that great smokey taste but I wasn’t expecting the aftertaste being like that. Could have been a lot better and made my food a little hard to eat.

I was getting ready to grill out and I bought this product to avoid buying lighter fluid and it doesn't light instantly. In fact it didn't light at all. I have friends over for a cook out and I have to cook in. totally disappointed and it ruined my night.

I grabbed a couple of bags of Kingsford Match Light before I headed to the lake, got the grill out of the truck, poured Kingsford Match Light into the grill then tried to light the charcoal for at least 30 minutes, No luck. I tried the second bag, still no luck, I ended up driving additional 25 miles to buy a can of lighter fluid. I will not recommend this product,

I love my Kingsford Match Light Charcoal! Lights fast, burns long and most important of all, it doesn't give meat that charcoal/lighter fluid taste. I live for bar-b-ques year round due my Kingsford Match Light. Even in this winter's 30 below wind chill arctic blast
