Rani Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Okay, I doubt I've invented anything new....(Is there anything new???) But I mentioned my new packing technique to a couple people and they asked me to post it. Pictures to follow if I ever have time to get new batteries for the digital camera...... I'm using a regular large Egyptian head that probably holds 20 grams if I wanted to pack it to overflowing. It's the standard one that came with my Sahara hookah. I was planning on buying a funnel but had a idea I thought I'd try first. I tilt the head over to about 30 degrees and pack on the sides only. Letting whatever falls into the center section stay there. And rotate it while I pack it. So it's thick around the sides and very thin above the bottom holes. I make sure that I continue to pack it like that all around the bowl. When it's completely packed around, I make sure it's still thin and depressed in the middle - kind of like a kitchen funnel but without a hole in the center. Then I foil it by pointing the center of the foil and depressing it in the center as well. So I end up with what looks like an aluminum funnel with no hole. I then poke 4 or 5 holes in the center over where the bowl holes would be. And a ring of holes around the edge. I use the edge of the bowl as a guide and poke with a toothpick pointing downward towards the center of the bowl. When the coal is ready and put on the foil it ends up being tilted slightly on it's side as well as it kind of slides towards the center sunken area of the bowl. The result?Perfect flavor all the way through a 33mm 3Kings without moving it once from it's spot. A 33 takes up approximately 1/4 of my bowl so I just smoke the other 3/4's the same way - each with a new coal. I have yet to taste charcoal, and more important to me I'm no longer burning Al Amir which for some reason I tend to overdo on the heat. My Pharoahs loves it and if you're interested in buzz, something about this pack will bring ALL the nicotine to the forefront which makes no sense at all to me but it does. I was in the chat a few nights ago and it knocked me on my butt. With 1/4th of the bowl smoked. Because I'm not moving and breaking apart the coal, it also burns cleanly and regularily. Almost a full hour on 1/4 of the bowl. So you end with what is essentially a 4-hour bowl. Of constant smoking. Amazing...... Like I said, I don't think I found something new, but I'm pretty impressed..... Doing the happy dance and sharing the joy........'Rani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
