Cocobrinco Help

[shaffaaf27]

got a 1kg box of tom's cocbrinco coals, and was wonder hwo the hell we can cut them. they are pretty big, IMO, so how does one go about cutting these into halves?

I use a hacksaw blade or serated knife to score both sides then snap.. I use this on coco'c and John's coals so Isuppose most coconut coals are the same

I dont cut them, just leave part of the coal outside the bowl

i tries scroing the cube on 4 sides, but tryign to snap it in half with my hands, (i.e the way i did for 3K QL) didnt work. i then smashed the knife intot he coal, took a few tried but it snapped lol. not very elegant. need a better way.

All I do with Coconara's is make an indent with a knife then break them in half with my hands. Not difficult at all

That's about all i have heard of people doing. I guess you could make a charcoal Guillotine.... oh that would be awesome!

Scalli Any ideas how to pull that off?

I thought About using a table saw, but I like to have all of my fingers where they belong.. BUt maybe a band saw might work with a really thin blade.

I dont hanging half the coal off the edge of the bowl, to me thats a waste. If I only need half a coal I only light half a coal.
