Charoal

I like this product it is convenient when grilling out at a park or if you just don't want to deal with the mess of lighter fluid. I will be using this product often this Summer.

Has become too inconsistent

We always buy match light and didn't used to have any problems with it. This season, however, we have bought four bags and three of them haven't lit. Very frustrating.

Great Stuff

Since the first time we used this we've been brand loyal. We love the fact that we doby have to keep lighter fluid on our property as we have small children and run a daycare from the home.

Won’t burn

I’ve been using Match Light for years with no problems. Now all of a sudden, we’ve had three bags that wouldn’t light in the last couple of weeks - stacking, newspapers, etc., nothing has worked. What is going on with Match Light?

Don't like the taste

I use 4-6 bags of the original a week, I find the match light has a funky taste, and stinks the "bark" on the hood of my grill. I couldn't recommend the original or competition brand enough, but match light misses the mark with me.

easy to use

I bought both the match light and regular charcoal. The match light is great, easy to use, fast. These work better than any other brand charcoal I have bought!

this is the best product for grilling

I have been buying this brand for as long as I can remember. I love the fact you need no lighter fluid cause its already on the charcoal. about a 10 min wait before you can begin grilling. Just love it :)

Doesn’t light

I bought Match light two weeks ago and when I went to use it....it doesn’t stay lit. I bought this brand so that I wouldn’t need lighter fluid....very disappointing.
