Charcoal Question.

[EAK1791]

So I bought some shisha the other day, and I got a 25 pack of ShishaCo. charcoals with it, since it was only another $2.50. This was before I knew they were natural coals. I'm a college student, and I live in the dorms on campus. We don't have stoves, and I can't get a burner, and light them inside, because we have a pretty strict no-smoking-indoors policy. Is there any other way to light them, or am I just going to have to wait til I go home for break to use them?

there is no other way..you can go with quick lights and light them with a lighter..but your still screwed with no smoking in doors..i mean if you knew there is no smoking and you where going to obey the that rule why buy the shisha and coals in the beginning? unless you just wanted to store them till you get home..

Could you get a portable electric burner and light them outside? Something like this:

I'm fine with not smoking indoors. We have a beautiful campus, and I actually really enjoy smoking outside. Luckily, I still have about 10 quicklights left in my stash, so that should keep me until I can get some more.

That may work, but does it have to be plugged in? Edited September 10, 2009 by EAK1791

if you can smoke outside then go with quick lights

there are gas portable stoves you can use...I think hookah-shisha carries them plus the refills

I would assume it would have to be plugged in, r1v3th3ad is onto something with the portable gas stove:

The recharge canisters might start to add up after awhile though.

[NIGHTS OF BAGHDAD]

can get pretty expensive buying those cans, depending on how much you use the hookah

[EAK1791]

Yeah, I'll probably just stick to the quicklights and use the naturals when I get home (assuming my parents don't condemn me for smoking hookah).

Propane torch works just fine for naturals and outdoor smoking
