The claim is they never need to be move or rotated because of the shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S3cretz Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 It works fine for the first few minutes until the little stilts turn to ash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squidget Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 ^^^ that was my first thought. They will be regular coals after awhile so whats the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joytron Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 There is already a coal that does not need to be moved or flipped....

Chreees Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Seriously? I've never had to rotate or touch at all really Coconaras, Cocomazayas, or Golden Canaries... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epoch Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I wonder if these would be good for Tang. We've already had people experimenting with putting coconut coals on brass washers like stands. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Eric of tangiers doesn't use that method, you can just put coals straight on the bowl and it will be fine, if it's good enough for him it's good enough for me, my tangiers never gets burnt but i do use less coal than people I've seen posting pics of that method. Two coconaras/ch/razan w/e coals is enough for a small folks that and a windcover does wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] do you cut them in half or just rock the cocos whole? just curious, as i've always used 3 with poor luck w/ noir as far as the "v" coals.. seems like a waste, i rarely have to rotate/flip cocos as has been previously mentioned by others aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to use 3 but I've grown to find that to be too much heat and with a properly packed bowl 2 and a windcover (at the start, later I take it off for a while) to be sufficient. As far as cutting coals goes that's a waste of time imo when standing coconaras up on their sides does the same thing for me.

mushrat Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Gimmicks make the world go round folks... why else have freeze hoses and mouthpieces, 8 different kinds of phunnel type bowls, or heba filter/diffusers or even multiple kinds of tri-metals? Don't knock a gimmick just cause YOU don't think you need it. It's called marketing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've already had people experimenting with putting coconut coals on brass washers like stands. Just a thought. [/quote] Yes that was me. I was using those because I only had CCNs and was using an Alien bowl. the foils rings/brass washers kept the CCNs from getting the bowl/tobacco too hot and burning. However, I have never had a problem using CCNs on a Tangiers phunnel at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squidget Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 I never really have to touch the CCM much. just towards they end of their life span I flip them and then put on a wind cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
