Lighter fluid taste

I bought this to use for Mother’s Day and our burgers not only tasted like lighter fluid you could smell it. It was so bad it ruined the taste of the food. All you tasted was the lighter fluid.

Quick light time, stays lit!

We absoutely love Match Light from Kingsford, it is SO much better than any other we have tried! Takes much less time to light, and stays lit for longer, allowing you to spend less time fighting with the grill, and more time making memories! =)

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.

burns hot

Purchase at least once a month because grilling is a regular thing around our house. The new matcglight is ready fast and seems to cook hotter and more evenly than before!

Great for a spur of the moment BBQ!

Look the startup time for this charcoal. Just light and cook away! Will always prefer these since you can buy one bag so its easy and convenient. No lighter fluid to buy.

Toxic briquettes

Bought a new bag because I did not want to be short for a birthday barbeque. These briquettes are toxic, smell horrible and a pain to light. Once they do light the toxic smoke off of them is horrible
