Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fast lighting fluid! I use it at every barbecue and it hasn’t let me down yet. Doesn’t affect my food and keeps the flames ignited.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from This gas helps you light the charcoal in your grill, you don't need to add a lot of liquid to your charcoal and the best thing is that the smell of gas is not impregnated in food

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It’s helps light stuff on fire, what else does it need to do. Have to get to 120 characters so again it’ll help light your charcoal on fire.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from This lighter fluid gets the job done. Although it smells bad, I don't know you could avoid that with a lighter fluid. Out of all the brands this is the one I always use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I suggest using the Orderless Charcoal Lighter Fluid. Compared to the other brands, you don’t get that after taste if someone has used too much lighter fluid. It’s not expensive so you can afford to have have a couple of bottles on hand. #Kingsfordlighterfluid #Influenster

Rated 4 out of 5 by from This always works well for me but I wouldn't necessarily choose this over a generic/store brand that's cheaper as it seems all lighter fluids work the same so I won't pay more for a specific brand.
