PeaceinIsrael Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 So anyways this would revolutionize natural coals if this works but does anyone know if a coffee maker's heated plate could light natural coals (nours) ? THAT WOULD ROCK. Someone try it................but don't blame me if it melts ur coffee maker (I dont think it would). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding_Heart1 Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 yea im sure it would. but thats kinda dangerious. Use a stove top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioannisds Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 That is actually a really good idea, but I am not sure that it would work. First, a stove top get MUCH hotter than the plate on a coffee maker. We don't boil coffee, right? Second, I think the plate on a lot of coffee makers actually shuts off after a few minutes once the coffee is brewed, and I am not sure that this would be enough time to get the coals going. This is probably a non-issue, as again I believe there is not enough heat to really fire up those coals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain Soph Aur Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 someone try a toaster and get back to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioannisds Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 [quote name='Ain Soph Aur']someone try a toaster and get back to me[/quote] That would be awesome. Put the coals in, push down, wait a few minutes, and then 'POP', freshly lit coals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frontmanpb101 Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 i second that. hooray for toaster coals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
looloopoopie Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 I think it was scalliwag who mentioned putting his coals into a pot, covered it, and then waited for them to "cook" through until it got red. Has anyone else done this before? (Scalliwag, if I got your procedure down wrong, please correct me.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Just buy a hotplate at Target...death to Walmart!I bought, for $20, at Costco, a two burner hotplate with solid metal plates over the elements, so that natural coals will heat easier.

nuschultz Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Tangiers, would you consider this setup "dorm safe"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Safer them inserting them into a rectum.I won't comment on your question, Nuschultz...my rape and murder lawyer would go into conniptions. Safer maybe, also, less damaging to the stoves with open coils...they tend to shatter from the extreme temperature stresses. Edit: the coil heating elements tend to shatter, not the stove itself.

Has anyone else done this before? (Scalliwag, if I got your procedure down wrong, please correct me.)[/quote] That is pretty much the biggest part of it. Without oxygen they don't burn. With cast iron you can get them really hot since the lid is very heavy. The higher the temp the easier they light. When charcoal is made if you open the kiln to quick they will fire up and burn. I opened the kiln and pulled a few out and watched it for the heck of it. I just closed it back real quick so I would not lose the whole batch. They sure as hell caught fire on their own. This method with the pot is the exact same principal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGuy Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 yup, we have a closed fire stuove thing at home with a window on front. if you get would down to embers in there, it just burns red coals for hours and hours, however, open the top for a few seconds and it all bursts into flames and probably burns a lot lot quicker.

Scalliwag Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 yep, there is a line somewhere on how hot you probably want to let them get before you expose to air. You don't want them burning too hot or too quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
