Extra Mint Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Been searching for these in UK for ages and never found one, have to burn my coals on the gas cooker and it takes a good 20-30 minutes which gets annoying, went to Spain and had a hot plate in my apartment, was a bit quicker but they dont light them properly, the coals burn and turn red and then turn cold and white after 10 minutes, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tukke Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 [quote name='Urloc' timestamp='1341422590' post='550805'] I have found another good reason to live in Thailand. They have coil burners in any corner store. [/quote] They sell coil burners in Thailand? That's fucking awesome, I'm going there in December, and I'll definitely pick one up on my trip there ! Could you recommend any stores that would sell them ? Any bigger stores? Also, how much do they cost around there ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, coals can damage glass stove tops from what I understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick lights might dmg your stove since they spark and are gross when they light lol. But coconara's are good to go on my stove in 8-10 minutes.

[/quote] Yeah, and chances are that it will get damaged in some time...it may take a while, but it will because I remember Stuie (you will hear that name a lot here, haha) posting that he damaged his. In the end, replacing a coil burner is relatively a much more inexpensive option.

Mine cost me about $20 and it is all metal. Been using it multiple times every day since the last 2 years and I have only replaced the coil on it once and that cost me another $6, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coyote Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I always use the Walgreens ones. Mine got beat up pretty bad (because thats how I roll). The knob fell off, the white plastic on all four sides started cracking, there were coals burns on it, the hot plate itself started disintegrating. So I threw it away and now that I'm still barely using electricity I'm think about trying to find a solar powered one. Yeah apparently they exist! Who knew... I have 0 experience with anything solar powered so I don't know, will it actually get hot enough to light a coal??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
