Just bought this bag, didn’t even start had to use lighter fluid. After it started the smell of gasoline was terrible, and it was a small bag. I will not buy this product again.

Kingsford I just want you too know what a wonderful product y’all have in your 4lb bag of ready to go charcoal (not the match light) this is my first time using this even though I have been a very long time user of your products and I was saying thank you for another wonderful product So easy to use no mess no fuss just light and go and no heavy starter fluid taste like I’ve had when I tried your match light Thank you again and keep up the great work and Ingenuity this is why I will not use anything else but Kingsford products.
Went to the store for a regular 'ol bag of Kingsford and could only find the Easy Light Bag. Super impressed at how frictionless our experience was! The bag lights easy and the coals stay hot while I enjoyed a cold one Pleasant surprise... do yourself a favor and try this one out folks!
Bought a bag to cook some steaks at home to try out this product. Light the bag and had 5 ft flames shooting off of it for over 20 minutes. Glad it didn't light my fence or house on fire, also surprised the neighbors didnt call the fire department. Tried putting the cover on and waiting and take it off and flames shoot up again. Waited until it finally died down and coals turned white and food tasted light lighter fluid. Careful storing this product and beware when lighting it. Would be useful if camping during a raining weekend is all I can think for this.
