frost91 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I don't wanna spend so much money on coco naras anymore so i was thinking about switching to these Royal Oak wood coals. The information says " This is the purest charcoal available with 100% hardwood char and nothing added. This fastburn charcoal will burn extremely hot at temperatures, between 800 degrees and 1000 degrees Fahrenheit, while briquettes only reach about 650 degrees Fahrenheit. Great for open pit cooking! " Anyone ever give them a try? Should i? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalSoil Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 that sounds like they would burn too hot... if you're looking for a cheap coal thats pretty good i would go with the easy light's.. the silver ones you have to break off of little sticks. Those are pretty good as long as you make sure the silver shit is off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frost91 Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 "use Royal Oak during the summers to bbq. After we eat I always grap my hookah and some coals from the bbq. Works great.Only Hard woods should be used for smoking foods because soft woods have nasty shit in it."Someone said this in the forum before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modisess Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 try them, but yeah they do sound that they might burn too hot. but be a bit cautious though when just starting to smoke using them.... i tried smoking my no brand lump charcoal and i took about 5 puffs back to back then waited to see if i felt anything... but they turned out to be perfectly safe for hookah.

Should i?I actually have used them for hookah, They work just fine, the biggest issues are concentrating the heat over the tobacco, and keeping the coal itself lit for more then 5 minutes. Other then that they work great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Ya, they are safe..as said before stick to the hardwoods. stay away from the flavour stuff like mesquite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog_916 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Psst, get some exoticas. Seriously. They are good coals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rigor Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I can second that. Exoticas are real nice coals, and generally about $5 cheaper per box than Coconaras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
