Romman Coals

[eyece]

Does anyone else have problems lighting these? take a decent size coal (about the size of a 50cent peice) and hold it over the stove top for 5 minutes, taking it off a few times and blowing on it to made it red hot all on one side. Then I repeat. The other side for 5 minutes ect.. After about 10 minutes to light just 1 coal, i place it on hookah, 30 minutes later, the coal is black and not burning anymore... Am I doing something wrong to not lite it right or what? I must admit, these coals are better than quick lite ones, but i dont know if it is worth the time and effort just for them to burn out early. any help?

You have to get them red hot all the way through and they will work ok.

I throw mine of the stove....... and flip em.
once the coals are at least 90% white on the surface (on the stovetop)... I can pretty much say that they have enough of themselves "lit up" enough to smolder out nicely without going out on me.

I havent had much success with lemonwood coals either, I have a bag of them but they either go out and turn black really quick, or if I get them lit well they still dont last as long as 1 3 kings coal.
