Did not light

I normally buy this brand and have been happy. The last 2 times I purchased was not so good. 1st time had to dump the grill and add more charcoal as it was having trouble lighting and staying lit. The last bag I purchased did not light at all. I had to go to 2 stores on July 4 to purchase additional charcoal to be able to cook for my family. I'm not sure whats going on or if the formula has change but you need to go back to the old way.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This stuff is worthless!!! I just spent 45 minutes trying to get it lit and never could. I bought this so I didn't have to mess with charcoal AND fluid only to find out I need to get lighter fluid if I want to use it. I'm disgusted that I actually spent money on this. That steak I thought I was going to enjoy tonight isn't going to happen - woo hoo - such a tasty 4th of July!. Kingsford, you ought to be ashamed of yourself. Stop bragging about your inferior product!!!

What happened? I’ve used MatchLight for over ten years but after buying two bags this year that wouldn’t light, I’m moving on. Too bad—-it was great when it worked

I’m not sure why, but both times when we have cooked on our new grill with the match light charcoal our tastes like lighter fluid why would it be like that?? There is something we are doing wrong?
