shisharob777 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 So lately while i have been smoking i have run into the problem where i replace the coals on my phunnel because they die but the second batch of coals just makes the smoke super harsh. I am using three 3Ks on a medium phunnel bowl, usually smoke golden layalina. Anyone of you have any tricks to avoid this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1024 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 when the first set gets down to where it isnt smoking as well, add another coal and arrange the coals so that the smaller ones are on one side and the bigger one is on the other.then when the smoke starts dieing again add half coals till it smokes well again.

mattarios2 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 The shisha will slowly dry out every round of coals you add. Say first round of coals with a new bowl requires 2 coco's.The 2nd round of coals should only require 1.5 cocos (3 halves) give or take because after the first round of coals the shisha dries out a bit so the higher temp that was good at first, is now too hot and burns the shisha.How many coals do you use to start the bowl?

redjako Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 (I'll compile the gigs for a video next week)...just last night I smoked the same medium phunnel for almost 6 hours last night with Horchata.Super-packed and dense, with golden japanese coals (silvers, not quick, the quality stuff).5 coals to light, 4 coals after 20 min.After that, every round was just 3 coals, where I'd move them to the rim, or IN towards the middle more if the shisha wasn't smoking / tasting good.Just use LESS coals on the next round, move them IN more then adding another coal (instead of using 3 coals, use 2 edged in closer).The longer sessions comes down to packing more then the coals anyway I believe.

shisharob777 Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 I usually start it with three 3Ks, and it smokes wonderfully lol. So would that mean i should only had 2 3K next round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its too much, move them to the edge.If its STILL burnt, just use 1.5....etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
