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!!

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

ONLY charcoal my husband will use!

We grill 2 or 3 times a week and this is the only charcoal my husband will use. It lights every time the first time. The coals burn evenly and last til all our food is cooked. Love Match Light and wouldn't consider another brand!

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.

It used to be great

At first I thought I got a bad bag of Match Light, but Three bags of Non Lighting charcoal? It looks like the quality has gone downhill. I finnaly used newspaper doused in vegetable oil to get it to light. I'll try the store brand next time.

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.

Horrible taste

I’m not sure why, but both times when we have cooked on our new grill with the match light charcoal our tastes like lighter fluid why would it be like that?? There is something we are doing wrong?
