This 96 count box contains individually packaged rolls of charcoal to maintain optimal freshness. Do not attempt to use a single flame for natural hookah charcoal, it's not recommended and you'll be waiting for a while. Instead pick up single coil hookah charcoal burner, and place however many pieces of charcoal you would like to use on top and crank up the heat. These coals should take 7-10 minutes to become fully lit, depending on your burners heat output. Please remember to make sure that your coals are fully lit before placing them onto your bowl. We recommend storing these coals in a dry environment to prevent any moisture from affecting the heat output.
