Rated 4 out of 5 by from Quick and Effective Charcoal Starter with Caution Kingsford Charcoal Lighter Fluid is an effective and reliable option for quickly igniting charcoal. The fluid is highly flammable, ensuring fast ignition, though care is required when handling to avoid accidents. The packaging is well-sealed with a childproof cap, adding a layer of safety, though it's important to store it in a cool, dry place. The odor is distinct but not overpowering, dissipating as the fluid burns off. While it gets the job done efficiently, environmental concerns arise due to the petroleum-based ingredients, which can contribute to air pollution. Use responsibly to minimize the impact.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Classic Is The Best! Most effective lighter fluid on the market! Sleek, recyclable packaging that’s good for the environment! The top has a lid that takes a little bit of muscle to open, so no worries for safety! Not much of an odor either! Nothing like the classic lighter fluid!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it When I use charcoal I typically go for quick light. However when I use lighter fluid it is always this one. It is odorless and I feel like it makes it safe to use in my opinion.
