I love Match Light

I only use Match Light. I'm not a fan of the whole lighter fluid business. Would give five stars but the last bag of Match Light I used would not light for some reason. Maybe I just purchased a bad batch.

Won't Light!

I've been grilling and using Match Light for a while now and over the summer have bought many bags and 90% of the time they will not light. Very frustrating!

no lighter fluid needed

I get this one because there is no need for lighter fluid. Usually adding lighter fluid can give off a hint of lighter fluid taste. This does not. One less item to buy when grilling.

Un_improvement

Before 2016 I used the product several hundreds of times, and I would of gave the product a five star review. Now it is extremely difficult to light the charcoal, which is the reason for the one star review.

The Perfect Easy Light

This is the easiest charcoal to light and is the only one we take when traveling. There is no need to worry about packing lighter fluid to take along. It heats quickly and easily.

Consistently good

Have used this product for a number of years..always deivers. The rare occasion where there was an issue lighting was in a bag that sat partially open for over a month…. Little harder to might but never needed fluid

Did not light!!

I tried Matchlight for the first time and was disappointed. The briquets did not light. I had to run to the store to buy lighter fluid so it wouldn't be a waste. Wasted too much time. Nextime I will just get the plain ones and add lighter fluid.

Not reliable

I've used Kingsford MatchLight several times, but my most recent experience was with a bag that did not light. I will no longer purchase this product since I don't have confidence that the briquets will light.

easy

I like to grill out, but my husband isn't always home when it is time to start the grill. I started buying Match Light because I knew I could strike a match and in no time, I have the food on the grill. This is my favorite brand and always will be!
