Electric Burner For Those In The Uk?

[jaredm]

Hey guys.

So in just over a week I'll be running a shisha event in London. I've got everything planned apart from how to heat coals.

We have the option of using QuickLights and I have a stash of 3Kings and Golden Quicklights just-in-case I can't find a good way to light the coconaras I have.

What I think would be best is if I can get a UK version of the Walgreens electric coil stove (talked about here). I can't order one from the US since they operate on 110v and I need 240 for the UK.

Does anyway have suggestions on what I can use to light coconaras in an ourdoor setting in double-quick time (or have a way of having coals always heating so I can quickly serve up a shisha)?

I have tried this induction cooker: http://www.electricshopping.com:80/shop/el...-hob/index.html with an interface disc and I've also tried http://www.electricshopping.com:80/shop/el...h100/index.html

The event will be on a roof garden - I have access to a power supply and would prefer an electric solution. I could also use a gas solution but I think for transport it will be harder to move around along with everything else I'll have to carry.

Very Interesting Fella. What i would have done is light up a small bbq using a bbq set and shove the coals in there and keep topping it up. Something like that anyway...all shisha cafes do something like this!

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, we would have just used a small BBQ but I guess I wanted a cleaner solution - we'll be operating from 11pm-3am and need an easy way to pack up and take everything away once we're done.

I was looking for one today. Tried Woolworths (they had gas ones) and three other shops before I found one in a little independent electrical shop.

It was £15.99 and has badly translated instructions but it should be ok. I'll let you know how it goes. I found it in the Angel area if that's any good? If not, I'd try Robert Dyas or something.

Believe it or not I found it in a duty-free shop in Jordan! It is made by a company called Nikai and came with the correct mains plug and voltage for the UK.

Here is a link to the unit on the manufacturers webpage: http://nikai.com/products/home_page12.html - I bought the NEC-3 but I would have preferred the smaller NEC-1 if it were in stock.

So far I get only one store selling it when I Google for the NEC-1. I've emailed them asking if it comes with a UK adapter and if so I'll buy it too.
