Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome - my family loves it! We love the Match Light with Mesquite. Admittedly my husband is usually the cook and he isn't always easy to please but we will go out of our way to find this. It has always been easy for us to light, consistent - we always know exactly what to expect, and we love the light mesquite flavor it infuses into burgers, steaks, pork, chicken - you name it, we grill it!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Do not like very hard to lite Kingsford is very hard to lite, does not burn long the cheaper charcoal burns better and a lot longer. I would not recommend Kingsford to no one it is not very good AND THE COST OF IT IS TO HIGH .

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Charcoal is still the best! I love the taste and smell of charcoal so much that when the weather starts to get warm all I can think about is starting up the grill. Match Light just makes it all the more easy for me to grill as often as I like!
