I don't use any other brand of charcoal. Kingsford has always been my go to brand of charcoal for grilling and that's the only brand of charcoal that my parents have always used as well

Ready in no time!

Grab the bag and go, no wasted time away from friends and family when cooking on those warm spring/summer days and nights with this charcoal... just light them and start cooking - love it! Wouldn't use anything else.

Great Product

Hubby only uses a charcoal grill. SO we love using the Kingsford MatchLight product. Its easy, quick light. No Lighter fluid needed. Fastest way to go.

The Best For Grilling!!

Matchlight is by far the best charcoal for grilling. I've never had a hard time getting it to light even after a winter of sitting around in the shed. It lit right up in the spring no problem!!

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.

So Easy and So Fast

I bought Kingsford last year and the burgers tasted so good..the flavor is amazing. I usually by the off brand but Match Light is my number one choice gong forward...lights really fast and stays hot.

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.

Easy lighting!!!

We've always stuck to the original. A friend of ours brought the new match light over for a b-b-que. I was amazed at how easy it lit and how quick we were able to start cooking.

Match Light Made A Great Ham

We used Match Light Charcoal in our fire pit to make our smoked ham and sweet potatoes for Easter...Wow...The taste was awesome and we will repeat this next year.
