JDHarding Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Smoking just now, went to bang off a coal in the ashtray, and the sucker broke in half! Diagnally! It got me diagnally!Anybody else experience some bad ones in the bunch? I've had ones completely fall apart, but none of broken diagnally, which is actually pretty cool if you think about it.

I can picture it now, workers in the plant on the QL side get mad at the Nat side and toss one over, imagine if they got into it and had a coal war, and start throwing coals all over the place, clean up would get tedious.

I know a lot of people like them, but I bought some official canarys, not fake knockoffs, and they lit okay on my portable burner.. but they lasted like 10 mins.. and they gave off a sick taste. I know I lit them all the way through, they were red hot on both sides.. but they still gave off a taste I didn't like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a little heat finicky. Requires minimal heat to get big clouds. I'm currently using 2 of John's coals on my small phunnel with a windcover on it. Three was just killing me. I tried 2 cut in half, but they lasted for a very short time. Maybe I should try canarys, or a similar small coal, with Tang sometime.Edit: Actually.. this has gotta be the best method I've used with Tang thus far.. 2 coals and a cover.. I'm getting good smoke, and it's a lot more tastier than 3 coals! Wow. Learn something new every day. Edited October 3, 2009 by JDHarding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff_T Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I was smoking last week on the back porch and picked up a CH natural and it exploded. It broke in half, and one half was complete the other was in around 50 pieces. It was a huge pain and some fell through the deck so I grabbed a bucket of water and doused it, sucked. This was the only problem I've had in about 4 boxes of CH's... It does suck when it happens though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tranoid no ki Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I have yet to have a coal explode, but I have had drunk girls knocking hookahs over, not good. No pipe damage, but I have coalholes in my carpet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
