Burn Holes

[hbomb]

So last night I wasn't thinking. I decided to use a small glass ash tray to carry 3 jap coals from my burner to my hookah. It took 20 seconds. Right when I get to my hookah, the glass ashtray shatters in my hand, also breaking the coals into smaller, harder to pick up pieces. The main chunks land on the floor, but smaller pieces land on my table and couch. Now I have 6 decent holes in my carpet, and some burn marks on my coffee table. I need to invest in a coal-holder.

I use a small cast iron Frying pan to both light my coals and carry them around.

It was $5.00 at the friendly neighborhood Wal Mart.



I Used to use a pyrex dish but was also worried about the coals being too hot for direct contact with it. Probably no worry, but I did have a pyrex bowl shatter once when cooking with iit over a double boiler. One bubble in the glass is all it takes. Edited March 21, 2007 by LuxOR541

Had that happen to me. Well sorta, but my hookah fell over with coals on the carpet. Picked up the pieces and sat them outside on my roomates glass ashtray. 30 seconds later hear a loud pop and some glass shatering on the concrete. Run outside and ashtray is in multiple pieces with coal everywhere.

You can always check out the dollar store or something and buy a cheap ass frying pan. Something used for the 1 egg sized pan. That will with stand the heat and give you a carry handle. Should not be over $5 bucks for it.


To fix the carpet I cut out pieces from the hallway closet where the light casts a shadow in the corner. Swapped out the cut parts, glued down the pieces along with glueing down strands from the carpet itself into the holes that were created. From 2ft and farther away you could not tell the carpet in the closet has burns. The main room looked perfect when I was done with it. I guess it helps having a do it yourself father who showed me how to handle carpet as a kid.

I use little pyrex trays and they work great.
