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.

Has become too inconsistent

We always buy match light and didn't used to have any problems with it. This season, however, we have bought four bags and three of them haven't lit. Very frustrating.

Lights fast

My dad used these growing up and they worked great when we would grill on vacation. I'm planning to use them for my daughter's party at a park. Fast light time means kids will get to eat sooner.

So easy for me to use!

Whenever my husband sends me out for charcoal this is what I get because it starts so easy, so that means great food in my tummy faster!!! Plus I can even start them myself!

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.

Lit easy for first timer

Bought a grill on Craigslist and it came with free charcoal. This one to be exact. And it lit up and I was grilling. Super easy, but now I'm outta charcoal.

Great to cook with.

This is the best charcoal there is in the store. No lighter fluid, no starter to get it burning. If you are grilling, i'd recommend this brand of carcoal.

Toxic briquettes

Bought a new bag because I did not want to be short for a birthday barbeque. These briquettes are toxic, smell horrible and a pain to light. Once they do light the toxic smoke off of them is horrible

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!
