Yalgo.com Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I use a pyrex bowl to heat the real charcoal wood peices in the microwave for 3 minutes, until the coal is glowing white with heat, it keeps the flavour pure on the shisha, and is easy to do because the microwave is doing the hard work.Any of you guys tried this method?

shisha fan Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 never tried that, doesn`t your microwave smell horrible after a while? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrenergy09 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 very stupid idea.... And afterwards you wanna prepare food in there?be carefull you microwave might explode and the charcoal starts to burn. There were several threads about this thema on a german hookah board.

Canon Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 i thought this was the only way to light the coals.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookah_Bob3 Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 scalli tried this a while back, and it works well if the coal is dense enough..coals that aren't dense will explode however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybersist Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Isn't the principle behind microwaves based on accelerating the water particles in the food to generate heat? I don't know for sure, but I am pretty certain that my coals do not have any real moisture content.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
