Still need lighter fluid

Doesn’t light and still have to use lighter fluid which is frustrating when paying more for the ones you aren’t supposed to need lighter fluid for.

Horrible taste smell fumes in the entire house

My entire house smells like lighter fluid from the fumes set off by this charcoal. Our entire dinner tastes like lighter fluid. Our body’s smell like it even after a shower. We had charcoals burning for 15 minutes before cooking also. I’d rate a 0/5 if I could. This was an absolutely horrible experience.

Match Light Charcoal would not light

First, I'm a Kingsford Charcoal guy. I love their product. Unfortunately, I bought a double bag of Match Light and thought I upgraded to save time in getting the grill going; however, the charcoal just would not light. Had to resort to using a charcoal starter. Took way longer than it should. I wish I would have read the comments on here. Seems to be hit or miss if you get a good bag. Not really worth the risk for the money spent.
