Hey there! We’re sorry to hear your charcoal didn't light properly. We wouldn’t expect that to happen. We suggest sealing the bag tightly and storing it in a cool, dry place if you intend to use the product more than once. So we can learn more about your experience, please call us at 1-800-232-4745 Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM-5:30 PM EST.

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.

Excellent Brand

Kingsford Match Light is the only brand we use. We barbecuing every weekend in the neighborhood. Easy to use and thank goodness no lighter fluid required. Props to whoever came up with Match Light. We customers for life.

Will Not light

I gave this product the benefit of the doubt 3 times thinking I may have just had a bad bag, or maybe it was the store I got it from. I am very disappointed because this is don’t not match at all . Waste of money and false advertisement

matchlight

I love using Kingsford charcoal. But, lately Matchlight has been inconsistant. Sometimes it lights nicely and lately I have to use fluid to get it going. What's the point of buying match light?

The Absolute Best!!!

My husband has been buying this brand since the 90's. He loves that there is no fuss involved. Give them a try to see for yourself...you won't be disappointed.

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!

Disappointment

Bought this brand because I'm not a fan of using lighter fluid. All the coals wouldn't catch so I had to use the fluid anyway. This has been an issue on and off all summer. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Just disappointed.

Would not light

Bought these coals to grill on Memorial Day, they would not light no matter what. I tried paper, which would flame up, but they wouldn't stay lit. And halfway through cooking they started to die. Not really what I wanted.
