melbar16 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Hello allI got my first hookah at the weekend and i clearly need more extra's. I'm trying to find the best way to burn the coals but i dont want to do it indoors and stink up the house, thus i can't use the cooker. What is the best and safest way to burn the coals quickly and efficiently?I tried it with a cigarette lighter, unsurprisingly it was not a success Thanks for the tips guys. As you can see i'm pretty green RegardsDrugness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costs 10$ and have free shipping, someone will post the link soonish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thankey24 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 a fag lighter should work, jus open a window or somin in ure room and light the coal it should take some time jus keep tryin (btw is ure coal quick light or natural coal) afta just blow the coal a bit it usually works for me and my friends-Mister V!

Codename067 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Single Burner or some crazy torch lighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modisess Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 i use a mini blow torch to light my QL's, but i don't know if it'll work with natural coals.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1v3th3ad Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Its hard to get a natural coal that will not make the entire house stink...although I've heard good things about cocosquicklights...you have to use a high concentration of heat fast to not get the smell, but you could waste a bit of coal in the process...someone above said torching...yupcare to elaborate on the penname?

Wharbone Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Electric stove for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasHookah Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Not a regular cigarette lighter but a butane lighter. The butane flame is a lot hotter than the regular cigarette lighter flame. Works very well and fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbar16 Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 Thanks for the suggestions everyone.I think i'll definitely have to go get myself one of the mini blow torch or butane lighter so.Enjoying the experience so far though Cheers!

Chiefin Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I light up cocos on my kitchen burner. They emit very very little to no smell at all. QL's will make your place smell like a campfire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
