Lighting Quicklights

[Dravyn3]

I have read all over the place that one should light quicklight coals outdoors. I realize this is for health reasons (carbon monoxide etc.) Forgive me n00bness here but is it really that big of a deal? Kinda a pain to go outside and ignite new coals every 45 mins. while having a few friends over to smoke when i have a perfectly good kitchen. Just curious..

Depends on the brand - I light 3 kings indoors ..but I bought a different brand locally that smoked out a room.


Always better outside though. Edited May 18, 2008 by pingywon

been using Golden and some "Easy" never seen em online but they are made in Japen

[pingywon]

Again good ventilation is recommended - but I have lighten Goldens indoors


...be safe Carbon monoxide will make you vomit (at least)

Or you could light them with your natural coals, but then throw them in a bucket of water because natural coals are superior.

I've had both QLs and Naturals explode and crackle all over my kitchen before. I've also had my carbon monoxide alarm set off by both on more than one occasion. It's a big enough hazard that I wouldn't recommend lighting them indoors if you can avoid doing so.

I light all my coals outside. I will light QL's inside though if needed.

I have and do light 3K indoors when needed. Just open a window and have good ventilation

I light 3 Kings and Goldens in my bathroom which has great ventilation. And then I leave the room. Inside is okay, but I wouldn't light them in the same room I'm planning on staying in for any length of time. And I agree that outside is still much better.

Japanese and Naturals I can light on the stove with the fan on and no problems. I'm pretty sure though that quicklites are bad for you with no ventilation. Besides, the smell lingers, whereas good japanese and naturals don't have that problem.

I personally love my golden coals, nothing has beat them so far, but I wouldn't light them without a fan around if I was inside.

i would say, light them outside, preferably near a garbage can...because that's where they belong

[ilikemyusername]

personally... i use naturals for at home smoking, and ql's for hanging outside of the bookstore, on the beach, stuff like that
consequently, i only light ql's outside. never thought of it...
