SmokingDjinn Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Hey,I'm using Al Fakher natural lemon wood coals and I heat them up all the way but for some reason they always go out eventually, turning black and going out. Anyone else have this problem? What can I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canon Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 put a windcover or make one out of foil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokingDjinn Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 How would that help? I'm smoking indoors and there is no wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canon Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 it keeps the heat in, stops the coals from going out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoalition Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 ive used natural lemonwood coals before. they area a pain in the ass but the trick i used is to keep a breeze going on them. i had a ceiling fan in the room i usually smoke in so the coals would get stoked by that. try just blowing on them throughout the session, not too much obviously so as to not blow ash every where Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_D Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Just a quick thought - Isn't the act of smoking it's self designed to keep air moving over the coals?Or is this a quirk of naturals?JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geiseric Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I've never had that happen, but I always smoke constantly. Are you letting it sit a lot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokingDjinn Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 Geiseric, nope, I puff it pretty regularly, JD, one would think smoking would be sufficient, not sure if this is a natural quirk. It's weird, I didn't have this problem with these coals at first, now it seems like they do it every session. Luckily I have Exotica's as well, but damn this is pissing me off, I still have like a Kilo of the things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could this be a similar problem?JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokingDjinn Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 Not sure, It is winter where I live so the air is pretty dry. I have been leaving the bag open as I was not too worried about the freshness of the coals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
