Kingsford Match Light Charcoal Briquettes

No, these briquettes are pre-infused with starter fluid. Adding extra lighter fluid is unnecessary and can be dangerous.

You can expect the coals to be ready for grilling in approximately ten minutes. The unique grooved design promotes airflow to speed up the ignition process.

While these are designed for quick grilling, they are safe for smoking. However, ensure the coals are fully ashed over—meaning they are covered in a light gray ash—before placing your food on the grill to ensure the starter fluid has burned off completely.

You generally do not need a chimney starter with Match Light briquettes because they are designed to light easily on their own. If you prefer using a chimney, be aware that the infused starter fluid may burn off faster than the charcoal itself.

Keep the bag tightly sealed and store it in a cool, dry place. Moisture is the primary enemy of charcoal, so keeping them away from humidity ensures they will light reliably the next time you grill.
