Could not light

I have been unsatisfied with your product for the past three years. I have an Orion Cooker that recommends your product. Your product just does not light. Today I used lighter to ignite your product. The cooker requires high heat at the beginning to perform successfully, thus I can not use a chimney starter.

2 years stored in the shed and it lit fast

I bought this 2 years ago and an opened bag spent 2 winters in my shed. I cleaned off the grill and tossed in the 1/2 bag of MatchLight that I had left over and it lit right away. I had a nice fire going in no time. It was ready to grill by the time my burgers were made. There is nothing else comparable.

The Only Charcoal I use!!

I've been using Matchlight for years - it always delivers. Lights fast and burns long!! The only charcoal I buy is Kingsford, the cheap brands just don't do it for me.

Almost ruined our 4th of July cook-out...

Start cooking fast with Kingsford® Match Light® Charcoal... that's a big lie!!! It took 10 minutes just to get the charcoal started with a propane torch. It would have never started with a match!!!

Match Light is horrible charcoal

Oh sure it lights without lighter fluid however they go out as soon as the lighter fluid is gone. They do not even burn all the way through. Very disappointing as this use to be a good product. I will never ever buy again.

Hi James! We’re sorry that our Match Light briquettes burned too quickly for you. We wouldn’t expect for this to happen to you. Our Match Light briquettes are formulated to be ready to cook within 10 minutes of being lit, so we suggest that you place the food you are cooking on the grill sooner than you would when using most other briquettes. For us to help resolve this for you, call us at 1-800-232-4745 Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM-5:30 PM EST. For expedited service, please provide the phone representative with the following reference number: 170222-001155. Thank you!

Best Out There

We grill at least once a week and would never use anything other than Kingsford Match Light. When they are out of it on the shelf at my local Kroger, I find a manager to go get some out of the back!

Bring on Spring

This is the best charcoal you can buy! Tried an off brand once, horrible, just horrible. Kingsford is one of the few brands out there that just says "America".
