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.

Matchup Light is the King!!!

I love using Kingsford Matchlight Charcoal. It is very easy to use and it dosen't leave a taste of lighter fluid on your meats and veggies after you cook them like some store brands do. HAIL TO MATCHLIGHT!!!!

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.

Kingsford match light review

Me and my family always use match light charcoal. We have used cheaper brands but they didn't compare to Kingsford Matchlight. This charcoal always lights. Don't leave no after taste on food and burns a long time.

Won't light

Bought 2 big bags of the match light for a big bbq.. and we have been trying for 10 minutes with no luck. Think it's no good. Going to have to go buy another brand or some fluid to get it to light.

Didn't stay lit

I always used Match Light. I bought 2 bags recently, and both bags were not good at all. I got them from two different locations. The coals would not stay lit. I used an entire bag on burgers and dogs. I used to be a huge fan. Lately not so much.

The Perfect Easy Light

This is the easiest charcoal to light and is the only one we take when traveling. There is no need to worry about packing lighter fluid to take along. It heats quickly and easily.

Won’t Light

What happened? I’ve used MatchLight for over ten years but after buying two bags this year that wouldn’t light, I’m moving on. Too bad—-it was great when it worked

Best Charcoal of All Time!!

This the one and only Charcoal I will use when I Bar-B-Q. It always lights, unlike other brands when you have use lighter fluid with the match light, and the flavor is undeniable the best!!

Disappointed

I am So Disappointed in this product. I’ve used this for years and within the past 6 months EVERY bag of match light I have bought from multiple stores will NOT light. It seems as if the product is not coated like it used to be.
