CMP Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Hey guys!I am going to have a smoking session tomorrow with some friends, but the problem is that we ran out of quicklights. So I was wondering, after seeing a lot of people that uses natural coal: Could I use "normal" coal to smoke my shisha? For example the 100% natural coal one uses for barbecue?I am sorry if this is a very stupid question.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newjacksm Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 No dont use BBQ Coals! Go buy coals from your local tabbaco shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMP Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 Whats the worst thing that could happen if I did use BBQ coals? Would it taste absolutely terrible?I guess a trip to the local tobacco shop it is then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinite Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I believe the output of Carbon Monoxide from regular bbq coal is extremely harmful to your health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones that aren't treated and formed into briquettes) are usually fine. I've used them, and I know a few other people on the forum have as well.

leadpipecinch21 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 as long as they're 100% natural and addative free you'll be just fine...after all that's what lump natural charcoal, orangewood coals, and lemonwood coals are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryno Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 If they are the 100% wood coals, then use em! I've used them before, and only had small problems, the coals take awhile to light and thats about all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMP Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 (edited) How do I know if they are safe to use?The ones I plan to use are chunks of "burnt wood" with apparently no chemical and absolutely no smell. They are actually "Bio-friendly". Edited September 30, 2008 by CMP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, if it says 100% natural then i say try it. I tried smoking with my natural lump/bulk bbq charcoal and they were fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
