What’s the best way to light Kingsford^® Charcoal?

For regular Kingsford^® charcoal and regular Kingsford^® charcoal with Mesquite or Hickory, add 1.6 fluid ounces of Kingsford^® Charcoal Lighter per pound of charcoal used once added to your pile of regular Kingsford^® briquets, light pile immediately. When the briquets are mostly covered in gray ash, that is your cue to start cooking. Never add Kingsford^® Charcoal Lighter to hot coals or fire.

For Kingsford^® Match Light^® charcoal and Kingsford^® Match Light^® charcoal with Mesquite, just light the briquets! You don’t need to add Kingsford^® Charcoal Lighter Fluid to Kingsford^® Match Light^® products. Just light your pile with a Kingsford^® match in several places. It takes 10 minutes for the briquets to be covered in ash, and that is your cue to begin cooking.
