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.

Must buy

Grabbed the match light kind by mistake but turned out that I like this kind way better then the regular kind. Less grilling time like the package says

Kingsford Matchless

I bought this and could not get it to lite. I tried everything and went through a half a box of matches. I had to go and buy wood charcoal starter pieces to get it to burn

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.

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?

Some bags light and others don't -- time to move o

I've had several bags that have light up easily and provide a good base for the grill, but have had four bags this summer that do not light at all. I've had to add kindling and coax it to flame. Not as advertised -- do not buy this product.

Kingsford match light review

Me and my family always use match light charcoal. We have used cheaper brands but they didn't compare to Kingsford Matchlight. This charcoal always lights. Don't leave no after taste on food and burns a long time.

Love Kingsford!!

Usually I buy whatever charcoal is on sale. But I decided to try the Kingsford match light and so glad I did. Works perfectly!! Will only buy this from now on.

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!!
