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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Really good brand and quality of charcoal fluid. Seems to get the job done, even in some severe weather conditions. The bottle also lasts quite a long while. We typically get at least 3 gatherings worth of use out of one of these bottles.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This is a must have for people who have struggled to get their bbq going. One time my friends and I were struggling to get the fire going because of some wind. Though once we used this lighter fluid, the fire was bright! It kept the fire strong and we were able to cook our food. A live saver!

Rated 2 out of 5 by from I am not a fan of lighter fluid in general. It gives the food the lighter fluid taste and I can't eat it. We used this twice and both times I had to throw all the hot dogs away

Rated 4 out of 5 by from My family only uses Kingsford Odorless Charcoal Lighter Fluid Bottle Lighter Fluid For Bbq Charcoal 32 Fluid Ounces. I use this with my Kingsford charcoal. I love this lighter fluid. It has no smell and does not emit that dark smoke I get with other products. It is quite affordable and can be found just about anywhere. I definitely recommend trying it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I always use this when I'm starting up the grill because it makes the process a little easier. Because the charcoal can be a pain to get lit and stay lit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Kingsford is all I use to barbecue. Fluid lasts a long time and always a perfect price at Target! I've been hesistant to use lighter fluid on a grill (I usually use a chimney) but needed to do a HUGE grill-up at the park on a double-drum set up. This was the only (simple) way to get that much coal hot
