Ocrap Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Wow...this is the biggest bag of coals I've ever seen! I've never used lemon wood coals before. Does anybody have any tips on how to break them up. Should I break them up first or light a chunk and then break it up. I hope these coals work out great. I'm gonna light up a bowl pretty soon.

mushrat Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 break em up with a knife or a hammer and screwdriver first. I make a small pile of several pieces and then get em going. The combined heat from several pieces gets themall going faster. With bulk charcoal you have to keep hitting the hookah or they will go out in my experience. I just got a bag of them as well and they smoke great. Wish i had the time to use em in the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocrap Posted September 6, 2007 Author Share Posted September 6, 2007 Are these coals more harmful than Nours or about the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocrap Posted September 6, 2007 Author Share Posted September 6, 2007 How do you know when they are done? I hope its normal for them to catch fire on the electric stove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 well, they don't have ANY binders like finger coals. Just pure charcoal.They will catch fire, when they get white all over they are ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope its normal for them to catch fire on the electric stove.When there is no black left on them, and they are glowing red/yellow when you blow on them... Just cut them up into little blocks or so and put them on the stove for like 5 mins and flip, then another 5 or so and blow on them.. Should be good to go then.

Ocrap Posted September 7, 2007 Author Share Posted September 7, 2007 ewww....what a pain....I can't stand these coals. Well, at least I know what lemon wood coals are like now. It looks like I'm gonna go for that 24 pack Nours deal from theHookah.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zabiela Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Im dissapointed too. They used to have japanese quicklights for 2.50! I get them in store for 7-10$. Then they went out of stock, and now they only have these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
