I really like how easy this is to start. It’s summer and who wants to take forever starting a grill? It smells pretty strong so if that’s not your thing then I would pass. I don’t care though.
Burns good and easy to start

By far their best charcoal. The lighter fluid is built right into the charcoals. No need for lighter fluid! It burns very hot and stays that way for the duration. I won't use any other charcoals except these.
Great briquettes

I have always had a great experience with these Kingsford Match Light briquettes. They light easily, last a long time and do a great job on my cookouts. I will say that you should let them burn a while before placing meat on the grill as they are impregnated with lighter fluid and if you don’t burn that off first your meat with absorb that taste.
Worth every penny!!!

If you’re grilling burgers, hot dogs, or quick meals, this is a great option. For longer sessions or serious BBQ enthusiasts, traditional charcoal might be a better fit.

The best to use when using a charcoal grill, no waiting for lighter fluid to soak. Literally just light a brick or two and it’s good to go! Perfect item for summertime grilling!

Very convenient option for quick and easy grilling. It lights easily without the need for lighter fluid and heats up fast, making it great for casual cookouts. It does have slight chemical smell or taste if the briquettes aren’t fully ashed over. It’s perfect for convenience but may not suit those looking for a more natural grilling experience. Also kind of pricy.
Nice and easy and light

Very light weight and catches a flame fast. The taste on the grill is very good and the price isn’t bad. I usually use this when I want to use a park grill.
Quick and Convenient Grilling with Kingsford Matchlight Charcoal

The Kingsford Matchlight Charcoal offers a quick and easy grilling solution, making it perfect for backyard BBQs and impromptu cookouts. The instant-light feature eliminates the need for lighter fluid, which I found to be a big plus—it saves time and makes the process a lot cleaner. After lighting, the charcoal heats up rapidly, reaching grilling temperatures in about 10-15 minutes. It gives off a good, consistent heat that’s ideal for everything from burgers to veggies. While it burns well, one thing I noticed was that the charcoal burns a bit faster than some other brands, which may mean adding more throughout a longer cook. However, for most typical grilling sessions, this won’t be an issue. The flavor it imparts is slightly smokier than regular Kingsford charcoal, enhancing the taste of your food. If you’re after convenience

I have purchased this three different times and all three times it did not work as advertised..! It never starts with just a match, and you need just as much lighter fluid as you do with every other charcoal

Kingsford brand has been around for a very long time. The charcoal I has less scent strength and has fast lighting speed. Less ash residue and the flavor intensity is great char flavor. Very fast lighting no lighter fluid to start the coals.
