Kingsford® Match Light® Charcoal lights every time—guaranteed.* Because the briquets are infused with just the right amount of lighter fluid, they light instantly*, and stay lit with no lighter fluid needed. They light with just a match and are ready to cook on in 10 minutes — making them perfect for tailgates and other on-the-go events. And our Match Light® Charcoal is made with North American wood and the same quality ingredients as Kingsford® Original to deliver an authentic wood-fired BBQ flavor — instantly. Available in a variety of sizes, from 4-lb. to 2x16-lb. bags.
For best results, always close the bag tightly after use. Kingsford® Match Light® Charcoal should last 1–2 years in unopened bags stored in a cool, dry place. For best lighting results, partially used bags should be rolled tightly down to the level of the briquets in the bag and securely closed. Additionally, storing open or unopened bags in a cool, dry place will help maintain performance.

Easy To Light Charcoal
We always use the Kingsford match light charcoal in our charcoal grill. We keep it on hand for whenever we decided we want to grill. You don’t need any lighter fluid, the charcoal lights with just a match and is usually ready in about 10-15 minutes, it is guaranteed to light and works alot better than cheaper off brand charcoal. We do alot of grilling in the summer and I like the smoky flavor that charcoal provides and I love that it’s made in the USA 🇺🇸

All we use!
This is the only kind of charcoal we use at our house. We have tried other brands but they don’t run as good. Plus being able to light these with a match is great! So many times we have not had lighter fluid on hand. Would recommend!

Good
Kingsford Match Light charcoal is what my family uses when we like to grill out at the park. It lights fast and dependably, and is much more user friendly than using lighter fluid and regular charcoal. Though we don’t use it often, it is a staple. Heats evenly.

Good coals!
This is honestly the only charcoal we like to use and it has to be the match light kind because seriously nothing else will light or takes too much additive to get it going.

Kingsford Match Light Charcoal is the Best!
I'll always grab for a Kingsford bag of charcoal over anything else! This Match Light Charcoal is very easy to use! It starts with 1 match every time and has a perfect burn time for everything I'm cooking! The ash cleanup is as easy as starting this charcoal..... simple, easy and effortless! I prefer charcoal over gas any day! I always recommend Kingsford Charcoal!

Catches Great
Kingsford Match Light Charcoal is good. It catches quickly, sometimes you have to add a little more fluid but they burn pretty quickly and put out a lot of heat. The cleanup is to me the same as if I had to use regular charcoal, ash is ash and it has to be cleaned up! The best thing’s about these are they are one stop shop! But sometimes you need just a little more lighter fluid!

Good quality for Bbq
I use this Kingsford charcoal for grill and Bbq which burns hotter and longer than its original component. It also produces less ash and make the smoke cook out more natural flavor delicious.
