Ways to light natural charcoal for hookah

When it comes to hookah smoking, experts always recommend the use of quality cigars and coals. This increases the quality of the experience and allows you to enjoy much more of the nuances of flavors or increases the consumption time.

Natural charcoal is the best ally to generate combustion: it provides fewer negative flavors, preserves the ducts better and lasts much longer. However, lighting natural hookah charcoal is not the easiest thing in the world: unlike self-lighting coals, you have to apply more refined techniques that can be somewhat complex if you don't know how to do it.

How we can light natural charcoal for a hookah

The main drawback when it comes to working with natural coals is that many people do not know how to light a hookah with these elements. It is not so easy to do it, because you have to apply a much more powerful and continuous flame. This tends to be a slower and more complex process.

Everything changes if you have a gas stove at home. It is enough to take the piece of natural charcoal with the tongs and put it on the fire at maximum power. In a matter of minutes the charcoal will be ready to use.

Another option that many people use is to buy a resistance brazier, remove the top and put two or three pieces of charcoal on them. In this way, you always have ready charcoal if you want to smoke for a longer time.

Other ways to light natural charcoal

There are other ways of working with charcoal. Some wonder if you can light natural hookah charcoal in the vitro or if the legend that you can light natural charcoal in the microwave is true. Let's see what is true in this.

Natural charcoal in microwave

NEVER light natural charcoal, or any other kind, in the microwave. It can cause a short circuit or, in the worst case, set our kitchen on fire. When you try to turn it on, sparks begin to appear as if we put something metallic in our microwave.

Natural charcoal in vitro

A similar system is used to light natural hookah charcoal in glass ceramic. In this case, no container is required. It is only necessary to put the piece of natural charcoal on the glass ceramic and turn it on at maximum power.

Wait a few minutes and you can see how, without even realizing it, the charcoal takes on the orange tone that indicates that it is ready to use.

The disadvantage of this system is that the glass-ceramic can end up deteriorating due to contact with the incandescent carbon.

Here are some tips for lighting natural hookah charcoal to enhance the smoking experience in these cool, increasingly popular hookahs.
