Quicklight Heat Vs. Natural Coal Heat

[kimcd]

in an unrelated topic someone stated that quicklights burn hotter than naturals. its been a while since i used naturals but seems to me that they were hotter. Can someone clarify this? preferably by pointing to somewhat scientific sources and not hearsay.

i noticed that too, it`s probably becuase of the "gunpowder" in the quicklights. these days i only use naturals because they burn longer and cleaner.
three kings can come in handy when you smoke outside, but other thant i don`t use them anymore.

on my small funnel i either use 3 33m 3kings QL or 4 coconara naturals...

seems like QLs burn hotter

although i appriciete your input it doesnt clarify things. I am more interrested in hearing about solid facts than preferences or practicality. For instance if someone have measured temperatures of the to different styles of coal, is there temperature variation between brands etc. In one thread a member pointed towards information on wikipedia regarding aluminium foils and its "ups and down". thats the kind of info i am looking for. sorry if i come across brash.

well if you're looking for evidence or cited material, check here:

however, if you're looking for experience and input, you asked in the right place. i'm not sure how many more solid facts i could have given without a thermometer.

if 3 33m QL's heat = 4 coconara natural heat...
then those particular quicklites give off 33.3% more heat (repeated of course) for the first 20 mins or so

well thats kinda what i was wondering.if anybody had used a thermometer. Or similarly if someone knew where information regarding hookah coals specifficaly. i understand that i come across as a dick but thats not my goal and i am really sorry if i offended you or anybody else. Seems to me though that there is a lot of talk about heat managing but we dont know the amount of heat we are talking about. And i for one would like to understand the numbers involved.
