Does not light as stated

We purchased this product as I hate the smell of lighter fluid. It is very frustrating when a product does not work correctly. I am ready to go back to propane.

Did not Lite!! Terrible product.

I bought a second bag because the first bag did not lite. The second brand new bag also did not lite. I spent 10 minutes trying to start them with a flame under them. I returned them to store. Terrible product!!

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.

Quick Heating

I love the Match Light product because it lights quickly and easily and heats up in no time. It makes grilling out easy and now we grill out as often as possible. I highly recommend it!

Won't Light

I bought a new bag of Matchlight, and it wouldn't light. I ran out and bought a second bag, and it wouldn't light. What happened? They were new bags without rips or tears.

Hello, Dave. We’re very sorry to hear that you had difficulty 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. Please give us a call at 800-232-4745, so we can discuss your experience with the product. Be sure to use reference number: 171030-000362 for swift service. We look forward to your call.

Super convenient!

I normally lug my son, the dog, food, and supplies out to the back yard to begin grilling but the pre lit charcoal gives me one less thing to carry outside!

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?

Best Charcoal in my opinion.

I have tried many other brands and none compare to Match Light made by Kingsford. The others make your food taste funny. Time to stock up for summer grilling.
