Seanij Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 It all depends on the bowl for how many a time..If I cut up my QL's.. Its just in half.. no more othewise they die in like 20 minutes XD. I use Al Amrousi or Soltans.. Soltans rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soltans rock.i had some boxes of soltan coals 2 years ago, but they all had little "rocks" in them, like nours. and i couldn`t light them without a gasstove/hotplate.

questions Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I have my own coals, that just rock, they stay hot for about an hour per pc....but here is the deal..and let me tell you it sucks..I bought through a middle man, he disappeared so I only have about 250 lbs now left, no point to put on market until I can actually sell it for a long time..I hate it b/c they are the best all natural coals I have smoked with..went camping/fishing, brought diamamonte(never used before), they suck..the worst flavor I have ever gotten..I would say silver Japanese were great before I found my own..

likespaceships Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I like to use jap coals and exoticas.I'm getting some cocos to try out today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzZ Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I use natural coal. Nours or Coco Nara's. Usually two cubes of coco's on my standard bowl. With Nour's i usually use about half or 3 quarters of a stick then break it into smaller bits which I put around the edges of the bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalSoil Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I use exoticas currently.i wanna try the coco-nara's and i bet the tom's cocobrico are about the same but they are super cheap!unfortunately they are across the pond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinkyfisherman Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I use Belgian naturan coals they are great. Burn real slow so you get a long time out of them and dont get overly hot. I've used the golden coals too they are good for quick lights. The belgian QL's are just as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamscott06 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Starting on box 1 of 3 of my coco-naros, so far there doing great can't really complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manic007 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I dont have much of a preference. Currently in stock I have 3Kings, Unprocessed natural olive charcoal, cococha, generic Jap-style charcoals, and NoursFor Tangiers I prefer to use naturals, since I can always find some smaller pieces from the bottom of the bag. The Tom's Cococha are really good, BUT they're frikkin too large! I have to cut them in half, which is a pain, since they're cube-shaped. Tom's also manufacture cocobrico, I dont know if they're smaller?Use 3Kings when I'm smoking a bowl and the coal dies and I can't be arsed to go to the stove My perfect solution, buy some coco-whatevers and a small filipino boy to cut them into the right shape. Find a small one, preferably one that can fit into the Mya QT cage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryantos Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 We like to use naturals from actual wood we use for bonfires. No taste or anything. They are excellent and free. =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I like 33mm Golden's I didn't like the 40mm I smoke mod and hemi bowls normally now and 2 33mm's work great. Going to try coconara when HS has their sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathan_Choi Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 What's with all the Diamante heat? I've never really had a "bad" diamante experience per se, and I have to admit I like them the best, way more than any QL I've ever used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
