I thought this would have been easier than using charcoal and lighter fluid. Wrong. First it wouldn't light. Added fire starters and it lit but wouldn't stay that way. Fire wouldn't spread to other charcoal either. I'm 20 minutes in and the charcoal still isn't lit. Worst waste of time and money.

Maybe I bought a bad batch but I have had no luck with this bag of grill coals. I have some coals that look like they have been dried out and none of the coals will light. I hate using lighter fluid and probably won't but this will most likely be my last time buying this product.

I brought this brand thinking it would be faster and better that buying lighter fluid and BOY WAS I WRONG.. I was so inconvenienced by having to run back and forth to the store which is about 10 miles from me. BBQ plans were late, hungry guest were upset, just an overall bad experience.

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!

We used a small amount once for Smores and they worked fine. Then when I was having people over on a Sunday evening for steak, THEY WON'T LIGHT. HAVING TO START WITH NEWSPAPER. EPIC FAIL. VERY EXPENSIVE. If I knew I needed lighter fluid I would have gotten some, but it's Sunday night and I have people over so I can't!

Bought a bag of matchlight 2 wks ago and just opened to use last night. I couldn't get lit after several attempts. Finally had to go to store for fluid. Very disappointed. Told daughter about and she said had same problem with bout a year ago. Will never buy again. It was both time consuming and wound up costing me more in long run.

By the way, I live in Virginia. Your pull-down menu did not give me any option other than South Carolina as a choice for location. As for the product, I have to say that I have always loved it -- until the last bag that I bought. Suddenly, the instructions say to light it ten minutes before grilling. It used to be twenty minutes. As a result, I wasted a lot of meat because the temperature never got up to where it should be. Hey, if you are going to change things, let us know!!

I have been a gas grill owner for 7 years my burners went out I was gonna buy another one but couldnt find the one I wanted so I bought a bag of matchlight to use on the 4th it work out great my food was great and the taste was so much better. Thank you I'll have to buy a bigger bag next time.

I have a terrible time using lighter fluid. I hate the smell and the way it starts the charcoal. I was always afraid I would burn myself. Three months ago, I had a friend tell me he would bring a bag of Match Light over to try, since he was the one grilling I said sure. I could not believe how it worked. I have used Match Light ever since. It only takes a few minutes until it's ready. I have no trouble lighting it and no smell. I will be trying the hickory chips next.

We have used four times of one bag. We were used to lugging clover down while cooking. But with this product food smelled like gasoline. All night we were sick. The second time we kept lid up and did not cool until flame gone and charcoal very hot. This was acceptable. But the last times our clothing smells from it and I can't get rid of gasoline taste which is very light but annoying. The convenience is indesputable, but I will not buy again
