My husband hated this!

We bought a bag of Sure Fire Grooves to take on vacation because we didn't want to take lighter fluid and thought they would be easy. They would not light after repeated attempts until we put card board and newspaper under the briquets. They finally started and took much longer then the 10 minutes it states on the bag. I will never buy them again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We love this product @ our house. We go through a bag a week atleast. Love the convenience of Match Light, and love that it doesn't have a lighter fluid smell.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This product actually deserves no stars....very disappointed!!!!

I was so disappointed with this product that I felt compelled to write a review ( something I've never done before). After lighting the coals & waiting for 30 minutes before the flames finally died out, I put on a beer can chicken ( which usually takes an1 1/2 hours over med. heat ) , coals never really generated any heat, took over 3hrs cooking time, had to add more coals & use almost a full 12.5 lb bag of coals to cook 1 3-4 lb chicken...wish I would have kept the receipt because I would have bagged the ashes with the remaining coals & RETURNED THEM!!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A taste of the childhood

This product does what it's supposed to do. Light it in several places, wait till the flame dies down and then get to grilling. If the heat gets low, put a lid on the grill or take the lid off and the heat builds up again. The smoky flavor gets in the food. The temperature has nothing to do with the charcoal, it has to do with the person controlling the grill. Started grilling early and 4 hours later, we are still grilling. Only complaint is that it takes a little more than 10 minutes for the flames to die down but no biggie. It's all about flavor for me. Great product, would recommend it, won't use anything else even if the price was more than I was willing to spend.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Worst Product EVER!

Was looking forward to cook0ut for dinner. Had to finish cooking in the oven as the charcoal went out once the flames died down. Had stacked brickettes in a pyramid, lit easily, then just went out! Didn't even generate enough heat to roast marshmallows. Will NEVER buy this product again.

Tasted like lighter fluid

This was our first time using Match Lite, and I was very disappointed. We wasted a lot of food because the taste of lighter fluid was so overbearing.
