Match Light Does Not Work
on August 6, 2023
Posted by: fishstick
Gender:Male
Bought two bags to take on vacation. Used within three days of purchase. Neither bag would even try to light. I had to go to the store and buy lighter fluid. Match light is false advertising. I can't believe all the reviews that say they had the same experience - wouldn't light.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Still need lighter fluid

Spend the extra money with the intent that the charcoal will light instantly, however, not the case, still need lighter fluid. We still keep buying it thinking we got a bad batch.

As long as you KEEP THE BAG CLOSED. It lights every time we only come over had a problem is when I forgot to close the bag. It is a good flavor and long lasting.

Kingsford Matchlight doesn’t light instantly

Gender:Male
Looking forward to having a cookout with the family. Decided to pay a little extra for the Kingsford insta light. Neither bag lit up. Very disappointed because I still had to go purchase lighter fluid and delay the party over an hour. I would have added the video of my multiple attempts, but I don’t want to create a YouTube channel just to show you the product doesn’t work. Quality control please!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Oh no. We're sorry to hear about your experience with our Match Light Charcoal. Many things, including a tear or small opening in the bag or exposure to moisture or heat, could cause it to not light as expected. We'd love to get you back on track. Please call us at 800-232-4745 and be sure to mention the reference number, 230509-000709. We hope to speak with you soon.
