Never had a bag bag of Matchlight, even when I lived in the humidity capital of the world, Orlando. I always purchase the same 12 pound bag. This past Sunday, I think I got a dud. supermarket had it marked down and I bought it. The bag was dry and looked same as it always does, but about 40 percent of the brickets did not light at all. I even tried to light some of them individually without luck. Tried again last night, same thing. Some lit, some did not.

I have bought close to $100 worth of your match light briquettes and 3 of every four bags I have purchased I have been unable to build a fire without adding fluid and most times I have had none available with friends and or family all waiting to eat...very, VERY Disappointed with your product

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 bought three bags of Match Light charcoal. Opened one and used part of the bag with no issues. I stored the remained of the bag in an air tight container in my hallway. Went to use it again, and would not light. Opened a new bag, would not light. Opened the third and final bag and it would not light, either. Very disappointed in this product!

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.

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.

We just bought 2 bags. We had used part of the one and was working fine. Now today just 1 day later it refuses to light. It wasn't left out in the open. We tried the other bag and it also won't light. We have used this for years. I guess it's like everything else Cheaper made to save money

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

Was looking forward to cook0ut for dinner. Had to finish cooking in the oven as the charcoal went out once the flames died down. Had stacked brickettes in a pyramid, lit easily, then just went out! Didn't even generate enough heat to roast marshmallows. Will NEVER buy this product again.

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!
