The charcoal plays a decisive role in the taste of a hookah session, which is why the quality and properties of hookah charcoal are extremely important.
Nowadays, refined natural charcoal made from coconut shells is mainly used for smoking. Charcoal made from coconut has almost perfect smoking properties, it is almost completely tasteless, it burns longer than other charcoals and it hardly emits any smoke during the combustion process. The coconut shell cubes reach a temperature of between 650° C - 750° C.
Note: When grilling, temperatures of up to around 300°C are generally used. Steaks that are exposed to particularly high heat come into contact with temperatures between 220°C and 300°C. However, temperatures above 400°C are also often used when burning out a barbecue.
The high temperatures of the charcoal are perfect for vaporizing the molasses in the tobacco. However, this also means that you need to think about the right accessories. It can quickly happen that you drop one of the glowing cubes and, depending on where it falls, this can lead to anything from burn holes in the carpet to a fire in your home.

We therefore recommend that you always buy charcoal tongs.
A charcoal windshield is also a very good investment
If your charcoal burner is not in the immediate vicinity of your hookah, you should also consider purchasing a charcoal basket.
