king_lunchb0x Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 hey i was looking for some help, i just bought a pack of easy-lite charcoal... and right on the box it says hold one peice of charcoal to a lighter for one minute, i held it as long as i could before my thumb starting burning, and they didnt light, am i supposed to remove that shiny film around the out side to light it? Any recommendations on how to light these damn things without a coil burner?? i prolly will not buy these again but i still have a hole box to use up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGHTS OF BAGHDAD Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 oh man screw a lighter your gona need a coil burner..These coals are a Chinese version of the original Japanese style coals. The box comes with 24 sticks with 4 tabs per stick (96 tabs per box). They are easy lighting compared to natural coals, but don't light as easily as the instant or self lighting coals.

Jeff_T Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Sorry to hear it lunchb0x. Only way I've ever lit these was on a coil stove and yes, they are pretty bad coals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antouwan Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 they'll light with a candle if you don't have access to a coil burner. i think the silver around the coals helps it light (it does with REAL jap coals, but as previously stated, these are chinese knockoffs and that silver shit around them is probably useless coloring). just make sure you blow/scrape all that silver shit off before putting on your bowl.
