Moving the coals can potentially preserve flavor, which is the reason primarily all of us smoke hookah. Give it a try sometime; you'd be surprised.



actually, i have...a few months ago, i used to rotate the coals every 15 minutes or so...

after tweaking my technique with packing, i don't have to move the coals unless its to make room for a new coal...

my flavor stays strong until the coals begin to shrink...no flipping, no rotating, no nothing...

try and tweak your packing...maybe you'll be able to forget about "coal maintenance" too!

note: i smoke Tangiers and Nakhla, almost with those brands either...


Oh I'm to that point, man! Sometimes I don't pack such a heavy bowl, so I need to be experienced in coal moving:)

nice...i try to achieve the epitome of laziness when it comes to hookah...

- i bought canaries, so i wouldn't have to get up to light new coals
- i altered my packing so i wouldn't have to move my coals
- i purposely freeze one can of (random energy drink), so by the time i'm done with the first can...then frozen one is halfway thawed

the only times i really get up, is to use the bathroom or smoke a cigarette...

I use cocos, and when they are first getting going, I will blow on them on my first rotate, to get them red hot again. If I just leave them there, the tops do not necessarily stay red at first, and need alittle help. The wind cover helps with this, but it's really a matter of circumstance if I need to blow on them to make sure they're burning well again. AFter, say 15 minutes, the need to blow on them is gone, and I can just drop them in the tray and be on my merry way.

I like to make sure my coals are nice and red when they are face down, to help with them going at on the bottom, as cocos tend to do.

I will gladly get around to passing on the art when I get off my ass.
Well, IF I get off my lazy ass. I think I'm getting the hang of it...
