There's a use for those crumbs you get when splitting coals.

I use whatever coal I have around. Natural Lump, Exotica, Coco, CH Quicks, but just make sure you break the coals into smaller pieces rather than keeping them big.

A lot of heat concentrated at one place will kill your fruit and make it really soft in 30 minutes or so. Just keep a thick outer edge.

First off, hi everyone! I've used this forum to answer questions before and can't believe the wealth of info I get from here but it's my first time posting.

I've got a question that's sorta on this topic. Has anyone ever used a small pumpkin as a bowl before? I have a huge halloween party coming up and will have the hookah beast out for everyone to enjoy and thought it would be cool to have a pumpkin as the bowl. Any reason why this wouldn't work the same as a regular fruit bowl? I gave it a shot recently to test and couldn't get anything but a little bit of smoke out of it, like it wasn't getting hot enough or something. I waited awhile for it to heat up, but still got nothing. I added more coals and still nothing. :/ I'm stubborn and would love to get this to work so any suggestions would be awesome.

Thanks!

the only thing i think you should worry about is the seal between the stem and bowl...also, you may need a lot more heat since the bowl won't be able to conduct heat as well as a normal hookah bowl...
