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.

Long Lasting!

I recommend this kind because is the most efficint charcoal I've ever used, I never waste any of it and it stays lit enough for me to get my barbecue done.

Long Lasting and adds great taste

Definitely prefer charcoal over gas grills and Kingsford Matchlight makes it an easier choice. Matchlight lights quickly and the coals stay hotter longer. Great product!

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.

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!

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

Would not light

Bought these coals to grill on Memorial Day, they would not light no matter what. I tried paper, which would flame up, but they wouldn't stay lit. And halfway through cooking they started to die. Not really what I wanted.

Lit immediately and cooked hamburgers great

Had a mother daughters weekend at a cabin this weekend and didn't want to deal with lighter fluid. The match light charcoal worked just great. Cooked hot dogs one night, hamburgers the next 2 nights. All good!
