Heat Management/coal Question

[Travis Moore]

Guys,

How do you properly light a 3 kings quicklite? Just touch a lighter to it for a second or should I hold the lighter to it, and move the lighter around the surface of the coal? Also, what do most of you guys use for coals on a regular bowl? I'm thinking of 3 40 MM halfs...should these last for the whole bowl, or do you normally have to replace the coals with new ones before the bowl is done?

Thanks ALOT!!!

Travis

Torch lighters work wonders man.

I light the coal by leaving the flame on it and moving the fire around on the coal. Then once it's kind of started up, I take the flame off the coal and blow on it to get it cookin.

I use 3 Kings 40mm - 2 halfs on a MYA bowl, 3 halfs on a regular bowl (2 for dryer shisas), or 4 halfs on a funnel.

To light, I use a regular lighter, light one edge, wait for the sparking, then set it on its side and come back in like 5 minutes. A couple good blows and it is ready to go (make sure it is completely red and ashing over).

I light mine a few different ways. If I'm inside, i set them on the stove for a few min. If I'm outside and not on my back yard, I use a lighter, wait till the bottom sparks, flip it over, and light the top till it starts sparking. If I'm on my backyard, I light my tiki torches and light the coal off of that

Thanks. Whats the difference between a mya bowl and a regular bowl?
