2 years stored in the shed and it lit fast

I bought this 2 years ago and an opened bag spent 2 winters in my shed. I cleaned off the grill and tossed in the 1/2 bag of MatchLight that I had left over and it lit right away. I had a nice fire going in no time. It was ready to grill by the time my burgers were made. There is nothing else comparable.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We purchased this product as I hate the smell of lighter fluid. It is very frustrating when a product does not work correctly. I am ready to go back to propane.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Brickets didn't last

I always use Kingsford matchlight charcoal in my smoker, and it has always been a dependable product. I used it as usual last night and the bag burned out in about 1 hour and 45 minutes. This has never happened before and I am wondering if there was a problem with the bag I bought.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Taste issues
on December 5, 2017
Posted by: siestabbq
from Siesta Key, FL, United States
The briquettes started up without a fuss. First use was great. I cooked salmon a few inches away from the ashen briquettes, no problem. The next time I was cooking steak and wanted more heat so I moved the steak closer to the briquettes. It ruined the flavour of the steak. I was also cooking plaintain which did not acquire the off flavour. I am not sure what happened. I read that cold meat can have wood creosote deposited on it with smoke, a common problem when smoking meat. My mouth felt a bit numb after eating the steak. I also read that lump gets hotter than briquettes so maybe this product is better for slow cooking? I was also just worried that I harmed myself and my guest by consuming the meat that had been seemingly tainted by the briquettes. Please let me know what you think happened.
