Gulf Coast Griller

We love this product @ our house. We go through a bag a week atleast. Love the convenience of Match Light, and love that it doesn't have a lighter fluid smell.

My family loved this!

My husband grills 2-4 times a week. We love this product and will use it for all of our grilling needs until either we or you goes "off the market!" ;)

Lights every time....no it does not Here I am stuck with a great grilling steak and I am having to use my oven. It does not light. Why in the world would you put that on your bag.

Easy to maneuver

I love Match Light because it's ready to light the bag, let the coals burn, lid on to kill flames and clean grill to cook. There's no dousing with expensive lighter fluid involved. There's no 'other' thing to buy.

no lighter fluid needed

I get this one because there is no need for lighter fluid. Usually adding lighter fluid can give off a hint of lighter fluid taste. This does not. One less item to buy when grilling.

Quick, easy, and tasty

I only use Matchlight by Kingsford. It is the best charcoal to use and of course charcoal food is so much better than gas grill food! Thanks Kingsford.

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.

Won't lite

We just bought this bag from the store. Followed the instructions based on the other reviews. Don't waste your money. These don't lite! Headed to the store to get lighter fluid and different charcoal.

Hello, Whit. We're sorry to hear you had issues getting your Kingsford Match Light Charcoal to light. The most common reasons for slow lighting, include lack of oxygen (make sure that you put the briquettes in a pyramid to assist with air circulation and make sure that all of the grill’s air vents are completely open during lighting). Also, windy or damp weather conditions can make it challenging for the charcoal to light, as well as the briquettes or the charcoal bag being damp. Lastly, waiting too long after placing the briquettes on the grill, will cause the lighter fluid on the briquettes to evaporate. Your satisfaction is very important to us and we'd like to make this right. Please give us a call at 800-232-4745, so we can assist you. Be sure to use reference number: 170913-000944 for quick service. We look forward to chatting with you.
