cityboyyy Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 they are realllly good ... i remember theres another company from greece called star coals they are the best coals in my opinion light very quickly within a minute or less .. get pretty hot and give you an overall great smoke experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansLight Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 hmm might be a local brand to where you were, and if so i doubt any of us could tell you what they are. but i second scally, do they work good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_D Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Looks like something similar that i used in the Southern area of Israel.For the life of me i can't remember the name, but was a very green packet and they also smoked well.Current coals are only going about 25-30mins. Anyone know of a decent UK Available Coal?I am seriously considering going over to the 'tradidional' coals.Which are cheap enough to purchase... just need one of those little blow torches :)JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 my advice about the blow torches... get one of these bigger torches and not a smaller one that doesn't have the tank, like you'd use in kitchens and stuff... I got one of those once and it got messed up easily[img]http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a54/DizzyGuy/torch.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clown Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Hey.These coals also called Star and are manufactured in Greece.These coals are older than the green Star and are the source.In my opinion, the green and the red Star is shit and nothing but shit. Did you pay attention that you're hand stains in yellow and it's hard to take this off after you light the coal?And the clouds of smoke the coal's takes out when you light him, that's crazy man.The best coals you can get in Israel named Pegasus.Try them if there will be next time.

benny Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 Yeah it makes copius amouts of smoke when u light it up.But once lit, theyre pretty clean. I dont get yellow stained hands either, tho the smoke does make my hands smell a little if theres a breeze that blows it back at me.I found them pretty good, never complained about their quality, but then again japanese silver coals are WAY better IMO.

Sonthert Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Lihnari are also Greek and if I couldn't get Japanese coals, I would use Lihnari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 No, but I am saying that, from the Greek coals I've used, I would say they are much better than many coals out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
