JDHarding Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 This'll probably sound dumb to people that already knew, but I used to ash my coco naras by banging them against the ash tray. Then I tried just holding them in my tongs and blowing on the top side of them, then flipping them over onto that cleanly ashed side. This has helped SOOOO much. I had no idea I could just blow the ash away. It leaves them so clean, too. Yeah go ahead and start telling me what a dumbass I am. Hey I didn't know.

jfaltous Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I still bang mine against the tray, I don't like making a mess of ash everywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDHarding Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 Well that's why you blow on them over the ash tray, but far away from the tray enough that you don't blow the ash in the tray everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 blowing on the coals just gets ash all up in the air and carpet. if you can precisely aim the ash when blowing on coals, youre a true american hero... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Drop mine in the coal carrier instead of the tray. Scrap ash off the bowl with tongs, Put the coals back on black side up. Wind cover for 30-40 seconds and good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TiLLooR Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 When I'm smoking I drop the coals off the tray to get the ash off them. I then take the bowl off and blow through the part that connects to the pipe to get any ash off the top foil etc quite a bit of smoke comes out the bowl. At first its tricky because the bowl is really hot but after a while your fingers get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ih303 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I don't like banging the coals in the tray because if there's ash already in the tray, it tends to stick to the coal. I'm more a fan of knocking the coal gently against the stem of my bowl. This works like a charm.Blowing on the coal works well if you're outside or have concrete floors. For smoking on carpet (which I do), that method is not suitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great technique. I also like dropping them down between couch cushions and against drapes. That really gets all the ash off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
