Lighting Broken Pieces

[[LB]]

I was wondering if anyone had any theories as to how to light little broken pieces. I found that on my cutting board im always left with little chunks of charcoal that could be used on my hookah except they dont fit on my heat coil thing, and slip out of my tongs. Usually i jsut put them in a dish of lighter fluid and light the fluid so they burn that way but im wasting so mcuh lighter fluid. any ideas? Edited March 17, 2007 by [LB]

Lighter fluid? Ugh, that can't be good lol. I'd say go with one of those hand held blowtorches from lowes and just put them in a deep dish or heat resistant glass and fire them up that way, or even getting metal screen to keep them in one big chuck until they're hot.

Just my 2 cents, as the idea of smoking using anything that has been lit with lighter fluid just does not sound like a good idea at all to me

Are these quicklights, japanese, or bulk naturals?

im assuming there finger coals since your cutting them, what you do with the little chunks is after you get your big chunks nice and lit and ashed around you kinda put them in a pile very close to each other and throw those little bits right on top and just wait a min or two and the little bit will be ready for your hookah!

I'd put it in a screen-type strainer and light them from underneath.

Decent sized QL chunks should light
