I thought this would have been easier than using charcoal and lighter fluid. Wrong. First it wouldn't light. Added fire starters and it lit but wouldn't stay that way. Fire wouldn't spread to other charcoal either. I'm 20 minutes in and the charcoal still isn't lit. Worst waste of time and money.

I have been unsatisfied with your product for the past three years. I have an Orion Cooker that recommends your product. Your product just does not light. Today I used lighter to ignite your product. The cooker requires high heat at the beginning to perform successfully, thus I can not use a chimney starter.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Put some steaks on the grill late night and this charcoal was right on time! I didn't need much and my steaks cooked perfectly!! Also saved time not having to use lighter fluid!
