Lit easy for first timer

Bought a grill on Craigslist and it came with free charcoal. This one to be exact. And it lit up and I was grilling. Super easy, but now I'm outta charcoal.

So easy to use!

We love the Kingsfold Match Light charcoal and use it several times a week for all our camping/picnic/hiking excursions! It's affordable and super easy to use!

Quality Concern

I normally am very satisfied with this product. However recently I purchased a small 6.2 lb bag and these briquets are not burning completely or at the usual temperature. I’ve used this for years and never had this problem.

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!

Alright by me!

Always been a Kingsford user. Family member suggested to use Match Light. First use, I poured charcoal lighter fluid, too much heat...then my son told me that I did not have to use the fluid. Everything turned out just right after second try.

Fast & Easy

I've never cooked on a pit, but for my husbands birthday I thought I would try it. Used the Match Light and it was super easy and fast. Turned out great.

River Banks And Cooking

We have tried other brands and wasted money . We like both the Kingsford Original and the Match Light briquettes , but Love taking the Match Light on float trips and cooking on the river banks. Kingsford briquette is wroth the money.

disappointed

I bought this to grill out with my family and it was very disappointing because it didnt light. I bought this one because it was easier...I had to end up going to the store and get lighter fluid because it wouldnt start.

Terrible product

I would never buy this product ever again, it flamed up to quickly only to put itself out. The result was half cooked chicken that had to go in the oven. What made matters worse is I bought the bag with 1/3 of the bag filled with charcoal.
