Product has changed

I've always been a die hard fan of this charcoal but something has changed with the texture within the last year. The charcoals are burning out way too fast. I've purchased several bags from different stores over the past few months and they're all cooking the same. Previously, the charcoals would burn with flames consistently once the juice from the meat hits them and the charcoals were hot. Now, they're barely staying lit and the charcoals are cooking down, filling the grill with ash within 10 minutes. This is becoming very frustrating. Hopefully this will pass and the product is made how it used to be. Until then, I guess I'll be using the regular charcoal that requires lighter fluid.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Disappointment

Bought this brand because I'm not a fan of using lighter fluid. All the coals wouldn't catch so I had to use the fluid anyway. This has been an issue on and off all summer. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Just disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Charcoal won't light

We have been using Match Light for years now, but the last 2 bags wouldn't light. We had to add paper. The grill was uneven in heat because not all of the coals heated up. Did you change something to cause this?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I use this charcoal all the time. Match Light Charcoal is so very easy to light. All you need is a lighter, NO lighter fluid needed & lights quickly.
I would recommend this to a friend!
