Do you not have a favorite charcoal yet, or are you just starting with hookah smoking and not sure which charcoal to choose? To buy the right hookah charcoal, you need to know all your options first. There are significant quality differences, even if it doesn't seem that way at first glance!
We have compiled some information and tips to help you make the decision.
Generally, you should differentiate between two types of hookah charcoal: instant light charcoal and natural charcoal.
In recent years, natural charcoals have become more popular.
Natural charcoal for the hookah, such as coconut charcoal, is extremely popular because it has many positive qualities. It has the following advantages:
However, the first advantage is also the only disadvantage of natural charcoal. Due to its long burning time, much energy is required to ignite the charcoal. This cannot be done with a regular lighter.
You need an electric coal lighter or a gas coal lighter to ignite the charcoal. So, we recommend getting a decent coal lighter and good hookah charcoal to make igniting your natural charcoal easier.
But that is also the only disadvantage - in summary, natural charcoal, especially coconut charcoal, is definitely the right choice for your hookah.
Natural charcoal like coconut hookah charcoal is generally always the better option than instant light. But now there are coconut charcoals for the hookah from many different providers - how should you decide which hookah charcoal to buy?
First and foremost, you should definitely pay attention to the quality of the charcoal, which depends on the moisture content of the material and the pressing in the charcoal production process.
The answer to this question is simple: all of them. Because all the brands you find in our hookah shop have been tested by us - and we use them privately when smoking hookah. So, we offer you a wide selection of top brands, where you can be sure of the quality.
We guarantee with our brands that they have low ash formation and produce no odor. The natural charcoals of these brands are, in our opinion, the best, and you can buy them without any concerns.
Almost all brands in our shop offer different sizes. There are charcoals in 26mm and 27mm variants - what should you consider when choosing?
Regarding the size of the hookah charcoal cubes, there are small differences. The most common sizes for natural charcoal are cubes with dimensions of 26 × 26 × 26 mm and 27 × 27 × 27 mm.
We do not recommend larger hookah charcoal than the 27mm variant. First, it is often difficult to get the charcoal into your hookah smokebox because it is still too large even after ignition. Second, it gives off too much heat for most smokers.
Finally, the question arises of how much hookah charcoal you want to buy. Not sure what packaging size you need? Remember the following guideline: 1 kg of hookah charcoal contains 64 charcoal cubes (26mm variant). Our offer consists of the following packaging sizes:
These values refer to the 26mm-sized cubes. If you want to find out for yourself how long the ordered natural charcoal will last for you, you can easily calculate it.
The temperature of hookah charcoal is 500 °C to 600 °C in the fully ignited state - you should never forget this when handling the charcoal!
We recommend not saving on hookah accessories that can protect you and your furniture from burns or burn marks. Consider, for example, getting a hookah charcoal basket to safely transport the hot charcoal from the coal lighter to your hookah.
There are also charcoal grates or charcoal protection grates for the hookah that you can place on your charcoal tray to prevent the charcoal from falling off the hookah head with every slight shake. This accessory has saved us privately from the occasional burn mark - and the price of the accessory is much lower than the possible damages from the charcoal!
We have our hookah charcoal in 20 kg and 4 kg on sale. Here you can save a lot of money, which is very nice especially in times of rising tobacco prices! Normally, 4 kg costs about 28 € and 20 kg about 140 €. With our hookah charcoal offers with 20 kg content, you can save up to 50 euros with some brands.
So, if you smoke hookah very regularly, you should consider whether you should buy 20 kg hookah charcoal. You can also team up with friends who also have a hookah and share the charcoal. This way, you don't have to think about ordering new hookah charcoal for a long time and have peace for a while.
So definitely take a look at the larger packaging units when buying hookah charcoal, as you can save a lot of money here!

It depends on the type of charcoal used for the hookah. Good natural charcoal does not impart any flavor. Self-lighting charcoal, however, can influence the taste.
No, natural charcoal does not go bad as long as it is stored in a dry place. So if you only smoke hookah in the summer and don't use the natural charcoal in the winter, you can still use it the next summer without any worries. The age of the charcoal does not matter.
No, you can use charcoal cubes from any brand for any hookah tobacco. It is important to choose high-quality brands that produce good quality charcoal.
The temperature of ignited hookah coconut charcoal ranges between 500 to 600 °C when fully lit. Suitable accessories like a hookah charcoal basket help with safe handling of the hot charcoal.
There is specific charcoal for hookahs, such as natural charcoal made from coconut shells (coconut charcoal) or self-lighting charcoal, though the latter is not 100% flavor-neutral. Charcoal not specifically designed for hookahs, like barbecue or wood charcoal, should never be used as it releases harmful gases like carbon monoxide.
Yes, but not all types. Different types of hookah charcoal have different lighting methods. Natural charcoal requires more heat to ignite and thus needs a charcoal burner, while self-lighting charcoal only needs a lighter due to its chemical additives. However, natural charcoal is flavor-neutral and burns longer.
Hookah charcoal is available in many online hookah shops and specialty stores for water pipes. Some supermarkets, tobacco shops, or oriental stores also carry it. Online shops are particularly popular for quick and easy hookah charcoal purchases.
