Scalliwag Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Sometimes one coal is not enough and two is too much. Breaking coals is messy and not very consistant unless you spend extra time and effort.Me and Amber (Bock, Shiner's first cousin ) were in the middle of pulling off a mild drunk and I was looking at how a coal burned. The air pulling around the outer edge. I thought that maybe putting a small hole in the middle would make it burn a bit hotter. Sure it also means quicker but such is life.So I took a small screwdriver, placed the tip in the center and rotated it by rolling it with my fingers. It quickly bored a little under a 1/8" hole. I proceeded to light the bastage. I was able to tell a more substantial difference than I expected. The coal seems to get hotter with less draw.You guys can try this yourself and see if it makes a difference but for me it seems to work well.

Scalliwag Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 oops, I forgot to mention. This was on a small Social Smoke bowl. On a phunnel I still use two coals across from each other. I am going to try it on the phunnel next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the neccesity is determined by if it is too cool with one coal but too hot with two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the liquor stores have Shiner in this sized keg. But Amber Bock is some good shit BTW, how do you like my homemade tap handle? Oh, and ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!

Scalliwag Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 thanks guys Have any of you tried the coal trick yet? I did it with the phunnel earlier with two coals and a Starbuzz Strawberry mixed with Guava and it smoked better as well. I am curious to the results you guys get. I am going to put me a little hex drive drill bit on my cordless screwdriver that I keep in my desk drawer anyways so I can quickly knock them out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
