ataneja Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Anybody have any good ways to break the coal? I use three kings, and sometimes its hard to break into consistent sizes. any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JByer323 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Most consistent method I have found is put the coal upside down on my curled index fingers, place both thumbs over the coal (should just about cover it completely) and snap it in half using my thumbs/wrist action. It may be hard to visualize, but just try it out, and it should make more sense.Some practice and a bit of luck goes a long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukasa Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Take a safety pin and stab it with firm pressure directly into the center of the coal. I have found that this pretty much breaks it into 2 almost identical halves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aronparsons Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I break up a whole roll at a time. I just take a sharp knife, score down the middle and snap. Always perfect halves; I find that doing it with just your fingers will leave you with little chunks some of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookahEnthusiast Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 As far as breaking coal..I usually use the golden coals...i either use the knife method or sometimes i just use my hands...your right sometimes you get annoying lil chunks that are just wasted coal when its all said and done...im going to have to try the safety pin thing.

Sonthert Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 I chip charcoal with a hammer and a straightedge screwdriver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ataneja Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 i like twang's machine for breaking cool...tangiers you make a machine i can buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Sure, I have a machine you can buy...If your girlfriend/wife are gone and you are a little lonely, then you attach this machine to your refrigerator and it will seem just like you have a racoon moving around on your sun-porch. It is self-contained and frequently, in addition to doing optimistic acts, used by men in military basic training. Six is much better, but if the one you love isn't around or isn't real, then this machine might be just for you to relieve your urges to make pasta.
