If you’re unsure how to get natural charcoal glowing properly, you’ll find an easy step-by-step guide here: Lighting hookah charcoal – how to do it safely and easily.
Especially beginners sometimes ask: Can you use grill charcoal or wood charcoal? But hookah charcoal and wood charcoal should never be swapped—so the answer is a definite no!
You should never use wood charcoal as hookah charcoal. It doesn’t just affect the taste, it can also contain toxic substances! When wood charcoal burns, harmful gases like carbon monoxide are released—and you should never inhale that, especially not while smoking!
Natural charcoal like coconut hookah charcoal is basically always the better option compared to quick-lights. But by now, there are many different providers of coconut charcoal for hookah—so how are you supposed to decide which hookah charcoal to buy? First of all, you should definitely pay attention to the quality of the charcoal, which depends on the moisture level of the material and the pressing process during production.
The answer to that is simple: all of them. Because we’ve tested every brand you can find in our hookah shop ourselves—and we also use them privately for hookah smoking. That means we offer you a wide selection of top brands where you can be sure the quality is right. We guarantee that our brands produce low ash and no unpleasant odor. In our opinion, the natural charcoals from these brands are the best, and you can buy them with confidence.
26 mm vs 27 mm
We offer almost all brands in our shop in different sizes. There are 26 mm and 27 mm versions—what should you keep in mind when choosing? There are small differences in the cube sizes. The most common natural charcoal sizes are cubes measuring 26 × 26 × 26 mm and 27 × 27 × 27 mm.
How long does 1 kg of charcoal last?
Finally, there’s the question of how much hookah charcoal you want to buy. Not sure which pack size you need? Best remember this rule of thumb: Most brands include 64 charcoal cubes per 1 kg (26 mm version).
We stock various brands from many different manufacturers, including brands like Blackcoco’s—typically, these providers offer the following pack sizes:

For example, consider getting a hookah charcoal basket so you can safely move hot coals from the burner to your hookah.

This accessory has saved us from more than one burn mark privately—and the price of the accessory is far lower than the potential damage caused by hot coals!
