Hookah Charcoal

Next to the tobacco, hookah charcoal is the most important part of hookah smoking. The charcoal is what heats the tobacco to the optimum temperature. The coals are lit and placed on top of foil covering the tobacco bowl. The charcoal can be classified as instant light or slow burning. The coal should be burned all the way around so when you blow on the coal, a red glow covers the entire piece. Ensure that hot amber does not fall into the shisha as it may result in inhalation of ash through the hookah. Charcoal is available in various forms like chips and tablets of different sizes.
