Bought a twin pack and for some reason it appears the fuel cooks off and then leaves unlit charcoal behind. We spent 30 mins adding paper and fanning the grill to get it hot enough to finish cooking our meal. First time this has happen with your product and by a quick skim of the 1 star reviews it seems to be a current quality issue. Time to find a new brand
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have bought two bags of the Match Light and kept them in the bag in a sealed 5 gallon bucket. They light well on the 1st two uses then after that I have ended up throwing the rest of the bag away because they will not light.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Horrible sickness

My boyfriend and I have tried using this product twice-the first time we both got extremely ill. Thinking it may have just been regular food poisoning we tried it again-and we both became extremely ill just from a few bites. Our food smelled and tasted like cigarettes. Overall, a terrible experience and we won’t be buying or using charcoal ever again.

Some bags light and others don't -- time to move o

I've had several bags that have light up easily and provide a good base for the grill, but have had four bags this summer that do not light at all. I've had to add kindling and coax it to flame. Not as advertised -- do not buy this product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What a Dissappointment
on July 29, 2018

Now I consider myself and very good griller. I love using the regular Kingsford but trying to rush on two separate occasions I purchased Match light. I’ve used this in the last and it worked great but the last two times my fire just wouldn’t stay lit. I tried everything possible. I had to end up spending more money for new charcoal, removing my meat and restarting the fire with regular coals. I’m not sure if Kingsford has changed something about the MatchLight but it’s clearly not as good as it used to be. What a disappointment.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Worked just fine for me

I haven’t used charcoal in years because I had a gas grill. I don’t have a grill anymore and just wanted a “one time use” grill for a holiday. I bought an inexpensive Kingsford grill and match light charcoal at a dollar store. Cooked out and made burgers, hot dogs, and chicken. Everything cooked nicely and tasted great. Thanks!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had written an earlier review prior to trying this product. I was responding to others negative comments and voicing worry that I made the wrong purchase. That being said I used the match light for my first grilling last night. All was well. It lit easily. The steaks tasted great. I would purchase match light again.
I would recommend this to a friend!
