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.

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.

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.

Lit immediately and cooked hamburgers great

Had a mother daughters weekend at a cabin this weekend and didn't want to deal with lighter fluid. The match light charcoal worked just great. Cooked hot dogs one night, hamburgers the next 2 nights. All good!

match light

I USE KINGSFORD ALL THE TIME. I ESPECIALLY LIKE THE MATCHLIGHT FOR EASY LIGHT WITHOUT LIGHTER FLUID OR CHARCOAL CHIMNEY. PERSOANLLY GAS DOES NOT COMPARE TO CHARCOAL. KINGSFORD CHARCOAL ALSO LAST LONGER THAN OTHER CHARCOALS I HAVE TRIED

So Easy To Grill!

My family has always used Kingsford charcoal and when I moved out I knew I would too. One day I tried the Match Light version and have never used anything else! This is the easiest charcoal to light you are ever going to find!
