how to lower teh heat on quicklight coals


Recommended Posts

some folks break their quicklites in halves, so they can use 1 1/2 for situations where 2 is too hot, or 1/2 when they need lower heat, like with Tangiers.
Otherwise, its a free burning reaction. not much you can do to cool the coals themselves down.

Also the amount of holes you put in the foil plays a part.

More holes out to the edges means more cooler air mixed with the hot.

Fewer holes just under the coal, more heat concentrated on the tobacco.

Try a few changes, you'll get the correct combo eventually.

break the coals in half (after you light them and they are grayish-black it's a lot easier to break them up) and put more holes around the edge smile.gif
