The Top 5 Charcoal You Must Try with Your Hookah
Your hookah experience is affected by two vital factors: the tobacco and the charcoal you use in NZ. You may have high-quality flavours or tobacco, but low-quality charcoal will make it unsatisfying. Choosing the right charcoal is not as straightforward as picking coal for grilling. Here, we'll narrow down the types of charcoal you'll find along with the top suggested products you can consider.
Types
Most hookah smokers choose silver hookah, natural coal, or quick-lighting coal. Natural coconut is cost-effective and offers the best flavour while having a long shelf life. Quick lighting charcoal comes in foil-wrapped rolls of ten discs with a chemical accelerant that allows you to ignite them with a regular lighter. They can be used anywhere but burns fast. Silver coals can also be lit with a standard lighter and deliver medium heat levels with reduced taste and odour.
