MR Bubble Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 After reading the post about the combination bowl/screen/cover, thinking about my own failures in producing results, and the possibility (more like actual probability) that I may not know what the hell I'm doing with it, I come with my (cap in hand-- Tull: Songs from the Wood) asking for love, patience and understanding from all you silly geese in helping this old dog learn a new trick or two. Since so many of you have reported great success with the technique/tool, would all you successful type please post a picture of you coal preparation on the screen. Tell us (well me I guess) what tobacco, brand of coal you are using, as well as if you use the cover while smoking or not. I'm a picture/hands-on guy who needs to be brought up to speed on the latest technology. Dammit, if there is going to be a launched nuke, then I want to be the one to push the button!! Cheers, brother-men and women, MR Bubble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HookahEnthusiast Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 yea id like to see some pics of how to best use this screen and cover as well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR Bubble Posted March 12, 2006 Author Share Posted March 12, 2006 Now everyone else out there having good success with the bowl/lid combo, don't be shy! Mushus ratacus uses natural coal chunks which would be a different setup than I use. You guys who are using 3 Kings/Golden with this bowl, please post your picks of coal setup also. I NEED YOU! Well, I would really appreciate it. MR Bubble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c4r80n Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 well usually i use foil, but i just used my screen with windcover and metal bowl.now i don't know if it's just the metal bowl, but it cooked faster and was hotter. it seemed to me I could taste/smell more of the coal (when not smoking and during).i used to only use my screen and metal bowl, i switched to foil because i couldn't smell the coal as much.

pavlakos_politakos Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 i wanna try that bowl but am skeptical about screens(never used one).is there anyway to remove the screen and just put some foil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennmon Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 yeah, you can use foil, although there is no reason to. the screen/windover combo is amazing indoors or outdoors. lengthens the smoking time, reduces chances of coal embers etc going astray and keeps the bowl nice and hot.

mushrat Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Ok, here's the deal. The two AA times, once at the Marrakesh with a big ole chunk of natural bulk. Smoked great, the other here at home with various pieces of natural and finger together, Smoked great. Nakhla at home with fingers...probelms. perhaps too much heat to start, I donno. I'll try again with nakhla and less heat... here are some pictures. Filling the bowl. all 3 times like this: Nakhla AA: The remains of the coal I used for the AA. You can get the idea on the size, They were not large pieces. I got things working on the camera AFTER I was done smoking.. (natural ash left, finger right) The same amount of coal did NOT work well with the Nakhla chocomint. as for the puck..after about 40 minutes smoking on the AA it still looked like this: i'm going to post this as the forum is getting balky.

mushrat Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 ate a picture... the underside of the puck was like this: This is remarkable for the time i smoked on it to be that much still unsmoked. This wasn't nearly as helpful as I'd hoped..sorry. I'm going to try experimenting more this week, see what I can come up with for the Nakhla.

MR Bubble Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 Thanks mush. Are you smoking that with the lid closed or open? I have an idea to try 1-1/2 (3 one-half) pieces of disks on the screen without the bowl on. Then, when the coals wear out, I'll try closing the lid and see what happens. What do you think? Well, I know. I'm a big boy and can do it if I hae the notion. Thanks again. MR Bubble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
