Did not light

I bought this a few weeks ago and it did not light like it says on the bag. I went through almost a box of matches. Had to go to store to get different charcoal and lighter fluid.

Thanks for letting us know this happened, and we’re sorry to hear that your Match Light didn’t ignite properly. Our team takes lighting seriously, and we’re glad you let us know. Several factors could lead to your charcoal not igniting as expected, including a tear or small opening in the bag or exposure to moisture or heat. Please be sure you re-close the bag after each use and keep it somewhere cool and dry. Also, check to see if you’re using an older bag (Match Light’s shelf life is 1-2 years when stored properly). We want our grillers to have an excellent experience every time, and we expect the next bag you use will work great. So we can make this up to you, please give us a call at 800-232-4745 and provide reference number 210907-000829. Hope to hear from you soon.

Poor

I'm not impressed with your match light brand. Tried to start charcoal out of a fresh bag and it wouldn't light.ended up having to use my chimney with paper to start coals.won't buy this brand again.

perfect all in one

I prefer Kingsford match light over other brands simply because of the guarantee no fail start and continued performance till the end of grilling. Long lasting just perfect.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Fast & Easy

I've never cooked on a pit, but for my husbands birthday I thought I would try it. Used the Match Light and it was super easy and fast. Turned out great.

Won't use any other brand

We've been using Kingsford Match Light Charcoal for years now, it's easy to use, requires little time to get a nice flame going and food turns out delicious.
