I do not have tons of time to devote to cooking, so when I want something grilled outside, I always use Match Lite because it lights and heats up very quickly and you don't need lighter fluid. I would recommend that after opening the bag, you close it up tight. Otherwise, if you leave the bag open, the coals on top that are exposed to air become useless -they won't light.

Only amateurs use this stuff

I love Kingsford, but this product shouldn't be used by anyone serious about grilling or smoking. You should also never use lighter fluid to start your coals. I recommend a chimney starter, paper, and a match to start your coals..

I don't grill out often, but when I do I always use Match Light. I find it is always dependable to use and adds a wonderful flavor to anything that I'm grilling. Can't do better than Kingsford.

The past several bags I have purchased did not light after a week of being opened. I had to spend additional money to buy lighter fluid to get it lit. Is there an experation date or should there be a ggod by date on the bag.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love this product

Kingsford is by far the best charcoal on the market. And the match light is my favorite as it gets me cooking so much faster. What I love about Kingsford specifically is that you never have to worry about lighting it over and over like the knock off brands. Go kingsford.

Product not what we expected from Kingsford!

Camping Trip - 1/20-1/22 We purposely purchased the Kingsford Match Light because we wanted the charcoal to light quickly and give off good heat. Well, on the first morning - my husband tried to light the charcoal briquets - it took forever for them to light. Then after they did finally light and the coals starting turning color - no real heat. It took us an hour to make our bacon and eggs on the grill. That night we wanted another fire - same problem with the rest of the bag. We were truly disappointed in the product. We have used Kingsford before but not anymore. We are afraid the same will happen again. (code on bag M2 1 315 3B 0702)
