What is wrong?

We have been buying Kingsford Match Light for years. We love it and we love Kingsford. The last 3 bags of Match Light we have bought have been horrible. They do not all ignite and they do not all burn. They also smoke horribly which we have never had a problem with before these last 3 bags. All 3 bags were bought at different stores-Dollar General, Fenn's Supermarket (local store) and Wal-Mart. Can not be said it was one bad batch. We are so disappointed in a product we have enjoyed using for years.

The Matchlight formula must have changed - doesn't light as easily

I am somewhat disappointed. I always bought Matchlight because all you had to do is touch a match to it and the bricquets would immediately light with a good steady flame, and they would be entirely gray and ready to cook over in about 10 to 15 minutes. Not any longer. Now I ave to either soak then with lighter fluid, or what I have been doing lately is use small squares of camphor to light the charcoal. And it take longer for them to completely light. Another formerly good product that someone messed with, probably to save money and cut production costs per unit. This is happening with a lot of consumer products these days. From here on out I will just get regular charcoal and use camphor to light it.

Match Light Charcoal would not light

First, I'm a Kingsford Charcoal guy. I love their product. Unfortunately, I bought a double bag of Match Light and thought I upgraded to save time in getting the grill going; however, the charcoal just would not light. Had to resort to using a charcoal starter. Took way longer than it should. I wish I would have read the comments on here. Seems to be hit or miss if you get a good bag. Not really worth the risk for the money spent.
