Buying the right hookah CHARCOAL is essential


Our shisha shop offers you a large selection of different hookah charcoals. Those who like to smoke waterpipe also need a high-quality coal. Two types of coal are preferred, we differentiate between natural coal that is made predominantly of coconut coal, for example from Tom Cococha, Al Duchan coal, One Nation Premium coal, Cocobration coal or Blackcoco's and the self-ignited coal tablets from Three Kings or Instant Lite. Whether coconut coal or quicklight coal.

At our online hookah shop you will find coconut charcoal from various well-known manufacturers in different packaging units and price ranges, you can find coconut charcoal in packaging units of 1 kg, 3 kg, 4 kg, 10 kg, 12 kg, and for catering needs also in 20 kg units. The coconut charcoal is usually pressed into rectangular cubes, the cubes are now available in different sizes such as: 22 x 22 x 22 mm cubes, 25 x 25 x 15 mm cubes, 25 x 25 x 25 mm cubes, 26 x 26 x 26 mm cube, 27 x 27 x 27 mm cube or 28 x 28 x 28 mm cube. The size of the cube determines how long the charcoal burns and how hot it is, but the most popular dimensions for coconut charcoal are the 25 mm or 26 mm cube.


Quicklight hookah coal

Quicklight charcoal tablets are easier to handle than natural charcoal, and the easiest way to ignite the self-igniting charcoal is with charcoal tongs and a conventional lighter. Simply hold the charcoal tablet with your charcoal tongs and light it at one end, the charcoal tablet then glows through on its own. The advantage of charcoal tablets is that they can actually be used anytime and anywhere, as no additional charcoal lighter has to be used. At our online hookah shop you can buy self-igniting charcoal tablets in the following sizes or diameters: 33 cm, 38 cm, 40 cm or 44 cm. The charcoal tablets consist of pressed charcoal dust, which is mixed with black powder, in order to prevent an unpleasant aftertaste, it is very important that the charcoal has completely glowed before you put it on the pipe.

Coconut charcoal: the most used natural charcoal

Natural charcoal is one of the most popular hookah coals among hookah smokers, we refer to natural charcoal as charcoal that is not self-ignitable and has no additional components such as black powder. We recommend a gas burner or electric charcoal lighter to ignite the natural charcoal. Natural charcoal does not contain any chemical additives and is freed of many volatile components with certain processes in which the raw material is heated to over 275 ° C, which makes the natural charcoal more tasteless. Another advantage of natural charcoal is its long burning time, as natural charcoal, which mostly consists of coconut shells, has a very high carbon content and is pressed very tightly.

Igniting natural charcoal with an electric charcoal burner

The easiest way to get the natural charcoal to glow is with an electric hookah charcoal burner, which of course requires a power source. The electric coal lighter should be heated until the coil glows. We recommend using an additional charcoal grid to protect the spiral of the charcoal lighter. Now lay the natural charcoal on the charcoal grid, the pieces of charcoal should be turned gradually until all sides of the charcoal glow. With good charcoal lighters, the charcoal should be fully glowed after 5 to 10 minutes, if you also put a chimney, for example a windbreak, over the charcoal, you can accelerate the process.


Ignite natural charcoal with a gas burner

If you want to light your hookah easily and comfortably outdoors, independent of electrical power sources, for example in the garden by the lake or on the go, we recommend a gas-powered charcoal lighter. The portable gas burners or gas heaters are also indispensable for every camping, the gas burners and gas cartridges can also be bought at our online shop. We also recommend using a charcoal grid for gas burners, as this allows the charcoal to be placed better on the gas burner.
