Only one we use

This has been our choice in Charcoal for years! The "other" "cheap" kinds make the food taste weird so we stick with Kingsford Match Lite! I saw other posts about some of you not being able to get yours to stay lit or getting it to lite, my suggestion is change your place of purchase. I too have bought a couple bags before from little stores where the bags have sat and sat on their shelves. If it's been there too long, chances are the chemicals which helps it lite and stay lit have evaporated, or there is a tiny tear in the bag which let the chemicals evaporate. I will NEVER own a gas grill because you just can't get that same grill taste with gas! However, I would like to see coupons available to loyal customers like myself available to us on the Kingsford website. Would be a great gift considering we buy 30+ bags during the spring and summer!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Walmart

I normally by the charcoal from Publix grocery store. When I first open the bag, it is great. One match will light it, but I use a lighter. As I get near the bottom of the bag, it is more difficult to light, but still usable. I just bought a bag from Walmart. It is horrible. I fought to light it the first time. Now I have to use a fluid to light it. I had a partial bag stored outside under the porch for 3 months that was easier to light. I guess Walmart buys tons of the stuff and leaves it in a warehouse for years before they sell it. Kingsford should not allow them to do this.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have used your product for many years with great results. in all this time only one bag did not come up to your standards . Then last night I opened a new large bag & could not get it to light. Fotunately I had another bag that did work. I looked for a batch # on the bag but could not find one . This is still a great product but I don't know what went wrong

i have used this product for 20 years now and have loved it every time, however the last 3 times i have tried it lately it does not light. a friend of mine told me to use lighter fluid, i told him it was match light and i should not need it. he said he uses lighter fluid every time. im thinking this product has gone to the way side and would not recommend it to any one. sorry for the bad review but its better than trying to light your grill and can not do it. scott

When I decide to throw anything on the grill I ALWAYS ALWAYS make sure to grab that Kingsford Matchlight in the black bag! It just couldnt get any easier! I come home, put the ENTIRE bag inside the grill, cut an X in the middle of the bag, and simply light the edges of the bag I cut and within minutes all of it is burning. No messing with lighter fluid, waiting, or worrying when the fire is just right to cook over. I just wait about ten minutes and I am ready to throw that meat on the grill! I absolutely LOVE cooking out year round and I love my Kingsford Matchlight! WONT COOK OUT WITHOUT IT! :)
