BamaHookahGal Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 I am new to smoking the hookah (probably the only one in Alabama for now ). I would appreciate suggestions from you experienced hookah smokers on how to keep my shisha from scorching/burning? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brother812 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 heat management is an art you have to perfect. what kind of coal are you using and how many at once? if you are burning then you have to much heat. cut back on your coals and move them around a bit while you are smoking.

alen Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 yeah the best way is to try your way to the best result with the heat but dont pack your bowl too much and have a little gap between your tobacco and the foil (or screen) -good luck Alen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 I believe a gap in the foil goes back to reducing conductive heat transfer. (read previous post). I agree, though you will get better with practice, if you are using good coals. A good way to stop burning your hookah is to forget to light the coals. Smoking's poorer though.

BamaHookahGal Posted December 15, 2005 Author Share Posted December 15, 2005 I use the fast lighting coals. Usually I use two but I cut back to one at a time and try moving them around in a different spot. I also try placing them more to the edge of the bowl. I have ordered a deeper bowl also. I considered getting a pyrex/glass bowl, I thought maybe it would conduct the heat more evenly. Do you think that would help? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Tangier: Heh, I once forgot to put the Ma'asell in the bowl. Got distracted, put the screen on, set everything up...added coal, started puffing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Went to Fumari, here in SD, I got the first pipe of the night and it smoked really lightly. I noticed...no water! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
