Voski Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 (edited) theres some black powder inside the box and I put a penny so you can compare them im gonna be used them pretty soon il keep you guys postedI like how it says "84 Pieces of Art" on the box. Pretty cocky imo but maybe they are just that good! My damn friends need to show up so I can start puffing away!

oolatec Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 AWESOME! Much better... I am sure the black powder is just the dust from the coals settling. Happens with them all.Let us know how they smoke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voski Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 (edited) I found a more destructive/cooler way plus no way in hell my mom is gonna let me light coals on her stove. Uploading the video to you tube now. I also 3 coals 3 times on accident and one of them broke in half so they are pretty sturdy!here is the vidhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1r6UJgDxf0 Edited January 26, 2008 by voski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milk With Pulp Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Anyone else receive theirs yet? Keep us updated on the coals, would like to try something different, so far exoticas I like, I have the Al hambra, wood but the oblong shapes suck, I heard of trial coals, not sure which company makes good ones, but this square ones look decent, if not how are smiley's compared to these?

gaia.plateau Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 For Canadian members...I'm still waiting on a second reply from the Coconara agent in Quebec... have been for almost 3 days now. I'll be calling him on Monday if he hasn't replied by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milk With Pulp Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Anyone like the coals? How are they, so far one half/half feeling on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenSilk Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Huh.. half an hour? I can't tell if that's good or bad. They are very small, and pretty inexpensive. So i think 30 minutes would be fine in most circumstances. I wanna see a damn review man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clickhea Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 30 mins is horrible when they claim hour and a half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voski Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 they last about an hour and a few minutes its just they get so small they don't produce enough heat after a while. They stay lit for over an hour and a half but they don't really do much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clickhea Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 that would make sense i guessthe would need to be thicker for them to be effective like that i assume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antouwan Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 they have reviews here on the coal review section. i just put them under a torch for a little bit OR just leave them on a camping stove for like 5 minutes. if you put the coals on the stove before you start getting ready to smoke (i.e. cleaning the water pipe, filling up the base, loading the head) all that stuff the coals will be more than ready to smoke with. they won't be like other coals in the sense that they'll be glowing red hot all over like jap coals or something, but the bottom will be lit...

Voski Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 another thing to note is that after a while the bottom of the coal will blacken out so you need to flip it to the top side which should be red and then the black part will redden out again.
