HellCat Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Hey guys,I read that the key to getting thick smoke was heat management. I thought maybe I could just forgo the coals and set the tobacco on fire. It did not light up well at first so I put a bit of alcohol in it. It lit up pretty well after that. I sucked on the hose but after a few tries, there still wasn't any smoke. My house started to smell pretty bad... like something was burning. Eventually I figured it was actually the tobacco that was burning. I am pretty upset now, because you all said it was about heat management.... well thanks, because I need a new bowl. Thanks for fooling me because now I have to waste $5 for a new bowl.What did I do wrong? Should I have put foil over the flaming tobacco? Would the foil need holes?

poncho Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 thats really really funny, the heat management thing refers to the coals, using the proper amount and making sure they are lit before you smoke them, what kind of coals are you using?

Those are extremely dangerous... especially the ones from the sides of railroad tracks. Did you know that smoking by using coals can give you cancer?

HellCat Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 I am wondering why you are mentioning coals? Those actually give off carbon monoxide... no thanks. Who would be crazy enough to use those lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HellCat Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 I am extremely offended that you call me a troll, and I am even more upset about my bowl. I am considering sending Mushrat a PM and having him make all forum members chip in and pay for a new bowl and tobacco. If it wasn't for the forum, I would not have been tricked.

Tyler Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Try using Kingston charcoals too, they're sold in a massive bag and would be much cheaper than any other brand! Plus you can cook some hotdogs while you smoke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
