SimplexCoda Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Coalsi know what the bag says, but they are supposed to be 100% natural and besides i dont use foil so i wouldnt really get any flavor or anything like that from them with the glass screen.

Hobbs Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 This guy responded to a post about bulk charcoal, it seems kind of like that and from what he says it's good.QUOTE (inino @ Jan 26 2009, 10:41 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>ok im going to explain how natural coals are lit for a hookah bar that wants to be cost efficient. by natural i dont mean coconut coals. i mean bulk coal that comes in a 40 pound bag.go to smart and final and get the 100% natural bulk coal. its about 12 bucks for the bag. get a small bbq and start a log with a torch, as it gets busier put more coals on. the first coal will light the rest. when they are lit they are easy to break. get or make a coal holder with air holes for ventilation that you can put the coals in after they are lit to transport to the smokers.you can buy cocos or exoticas or whatever and go through lots of boxes every night and waste alot of money just becuase they are easier to light, but the bulk is way cheaper and you can light alot and keep them going, taking from them as you need.out of all the hookah bars i have been too they all use this method and i use it home.as far the hookahs go, you have a pretty good idea, and i would even just stop at regular and premium tobacco. customers dont like alot of choices and 90% wont know the difference.where are you located just out of curiosity?

Scalliwag Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 The problem I have ran into with some lump coal that is marketed towards the bbq industry is sometimes there are pieces that are not quite coal. So watch for pieces of charred wood is the main thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indian_villager Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Hahaha back on the amateur pyrotechnics forums we used to use that exact brand for the charcoal source for black powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Ninja Robot Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Hey Coda! Remember when we were in chat and I was desperate for supplies all those months ago?And I bought some bulk charcoal? And it wouldn't stay lit AT ALL? And I was swearing a bunch?That's the coal I mean try it, maybe you'll have more luck and either way it's a good buy, that is some good coal for bbqs, I've cooked with it many a time.

AKammenzind Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Yeah, I had the same thing with that charcoal GNR. No idea HOW it won't stay lit... it just wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 ive tried the 12 or 14lb bag of bulk coal from smart and final. mesquite flavor really comes through for me. some people said otherwise but i can taste it pretty distinctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 It's pretty much like Lemonwood coals. Same good, same bad, but a lot cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
