Hit and Miss

Spoiled my evening and events often enough. The bag even sucks and followed directions with dry bag. I prob won't buy again. Use lighter fluid and this leaves a chemical taste.

Easy to maneuver

I love Match Light because it's ready to light the bag, let the coals burn, lid on to kill flames and clean grill to cook. There's no dousing with expensive lighter fluid involved. There's no 'other' thing to buy.

Burns excellent

I needed to buy charcoal for a Bbq and I was stuck at a selection. Didn't know what to pick, so decided to pick kingsford match light charcoal and it was at a reasonable price and worked just as well for my money's worth.

I have bought other brands and did't like them. This was easy to light, burns longer, and the instant light stuff does not evaparate after you open the bag like other brands do.

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

Disappointing

I bought a brand new bag and this is my third time barbecuing but now the coals won’t light at all. No matter what I try. The first two times two weeks ago they lit right up.

Lights every time. Lasts long. I’ve been using it

As long as you KEEP THE BAG CLOSED. It lights every time we only come over had a problem is when I forgot to close the bag. It is a good flavor and long lasting.

Charcoal won't light

We have been using Match Light for years now, but the last 2 bags wouldn't light. We had to add paper. The grill was uneven in heat because not all of the coals heated up. Did you change something to cause this?

Almost ruined our 4th of July cook-out...

Start cooking fast with Kingsford® Match Light® Charcoal... that's a big lie!!! It took 10 minutes just to get the charcoal started with a propane torch. It would have never started with a match!!!

Won’t burn

I’ve been using Match Light for years with no problems. Now all of a sudden, we’ve had three bags that wouldn’t light in the last couple of weeks - stacking, newspapers, etc., nothing has worked. What is going on with Match Light?
