I purchased a bag at Walmart day before Memorial Day. I tried to grill out day after and it took 20 mins to get the coals lit. Today I tried to grill out again and same issue. They did not instantly light at all. I ended up destroying the coals + extra and thru in trash.

This bag was not "match light" ready (as it indicates) what a way to start the celebration festivities! Kingsford im very disappointed!! We are not close to a store so needless to say it took FOREVER to get started... I guess it's time to change brands!

This is the worst charcoal product I have ever used. Had I known that I would need lighter fluid to light these anyway, I would have just bought regular charcoal. These coals do NOT light easily at all. We've tried newspaper, cardboard, matches, almost everything else short of pouring lighter fluid all over it, and nothing seems to work very effectively. We've been trying for over 30 minutes just to get the coals to LIGHT, let alone heat up enough to cook on. The one time we were successful in getting them to light, it took over an hour and 15 minutes to heat up appropriately. I will NEVER buy this product again, and I would not recommend that anybody else waste their money on it either.

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!!

My boyfriend and I have tried using this product twice-the first time we both got extremely ill. Thinking it may have just been regular food poisoning we tried it again-and we both became extremely ill just from a few bites. Our food smelled and tasted like cigarettes. Overall, a terrible experience and we won’t be buying or using charcoal ever again.

The Good Charcoal Company has excellent charcoal for grilling. I have grilled with this charcoal three times so far, and each experience has been very satisfying. I will purchase another bag in the near future. This charcoal has become my go to when I want to grill. I love it.

Not being a "Grill Master" I always have issues with lighter fluid and charcoal, not enough fluid to light, or too much fluid which gases up my food. I only use this brand after trying some of the cheaper competitors. There are no competitors to the quality.

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 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

I purchased Kingsford Match Light for my latest barbecue and I am glad that I did. The charcoal lit very easily and burned evenly throughout the time I needed to use it. It was a lot more convenient than having to use both charcoal and lighter fluid and the price was similar to having to purchase two separate products. I will purchase this again in the future.
