Looking forward to having a cookout with the family. Decided to pay a little extra for the Kingsford insta light. Neither bag lit up. Very disappointed because I still had to go purchase lighter fluid and delay the party over an hour. I would have added the video of my multiple attempts, but I don’t want to create a YouTube channel just to show you the product doesn’t work. Quality control please!

We have used this charcoal for the past 15 years. We didn't suddenly forget how to grill meat. Your 'new' charcoal no longer cooks, is difficult to use and has ruined many meals this summer. No more. We will not longer be buying your product. I hope others stay away. Save your money.

I haven’t used charcoal in years because I had a gas grill. I don’t have a grill anymore and just wanted a “one time use” grill for a holiday. I bought an inexpensive Kingsford grill and match light charcoal at a dollar store. Cooked out and made burgers, hot dogs, and chicken. Everything cooked nicely and tasted great. Thanks!

I grill al the time and for me the Kingsford match Light are the best around they are quick to burn so you can start cooking within minutes they burn evenly and leave no charcoal taste in your mouth i have tired other brands of instant light but i didnot care for them at all . thanks for making a great product

I have been using Kingsford self lighting charcoal for many years and have found that dspite what you read, it does not inpart a lighter fluid taste to your meat. Keep it up because it is the easiest way to prepare a good fire for your grilling pleasure.

With the new season, I purchased a brand new bag of Match Light. This is the first time, I wasn't able to immediately light the charcoal. I even went and retrieved my cigar torch, which still did not light it. In the end, I put it all in a chimney and used some newspaper to light it. Has the composition changed?

The whole concept of match-light charcoal would mean that one doesn't have to use anything but a match to light it, right? Apparently not this stuff, where marketing must have gotten a bit too confident for the development team to back up that claim. A half pack of matches, a good 3 minutes of a hand lighter, and a few fistfuls of newspaper were wholly insufficient to generate even the slightest flame from these dudes. It should be noted, this was a just-opened package. Oh, you say the charcoal needs to be stored inside, per the useless YouTube tutorial? Great, except a) I'm not storing anything this supposedly flammable in my house, and b) that advice is nowhere on the bag. Prospective buyer, do yourself a favor: get a gas grill or a chimney and some real charcoal. If you're going to spend a half hour prepping a grill, may as well make it worth it.

I bought this 2 years ago and an opened bag spent 2 winters in my shed. I cleaned off the grill and tossed in the 1/2 bag of MatchLight that I had left over and it lit right away. I had a nice fire going in no time. It was ready to grill by the time my burgers were made. There is nothing else comparable.

Bought a twin pack and for some reason it appears the fuel cooks off and then leaves unlit charcoal behind. We spent 30 mins adding paper and fanning the grill to get it hot enough to finish cooking our meal. First time this has happen with your product and by a quick skim of the 1 star reviews it seems to be a current quality issue. Time to find a new brand

I love the regular Kingsford Charcoal. It burns longer than others and always burns evenly. The last two bags of Matchlight that I have purchased have failed to either light without adding further lighter fluid, or burn evenly. I am VERY disappointed and WILL NEVER buy Matchlight again!
