How do I light hookah charcoal?
If you're using quick lighting coals, hold a piece of charcoal with metal tongs and hold a standard flame lighter to the edge. After a couple of seconds, the charcoal will begin to rapidly emit sparks and will fully light after 2-3 minutes. If using natural hookah coals, you will need to use an electric coil stove or charcoal burner to properly light them. Place your charcoal directly on the electric coil or burner and crank it up to high. Once the bottom half of the coals are lit, give them a flip with your metal tongs so the other side can light. Depending on the size of coal you're using and the power of the burner, it can take anywhere between 5-15 minutes to fully light natural hookah charcoal.
