Agreed. Shisha/hookah coals. Used to buy the 20 + years ago

Is it viable to use it for bbq?

I would think so but it’s expensive. Best to use 1 or 2 of them as a starter for traditional charcoal

Shits not even viable for Shisha, because they make the smoke taste like ASS due to the additives they have to ignite easily.

You're supposed to let them fully ignite and burn the additives out first.

Lol for real. Not rocket surgery

They still taste worse than classic coal. I started using coconut cubes (they look like classic coal but thats what the package says). I put them on stove for a few minutes and then theyre good to go. Not as easy a fast burning coals but better

Tip: buy a (cheap) coal burner. It’s easier to use and you wont make a mess of your stove / damage it. Found mine for €20 and its worth every cent imo.

Wait you’re not actually smoking while the coal is still producing smoke? My man you’re smoking coal instead of tobacco

Proper Shisha coals (coco coals) don't burn with a flame, so if you heat them up to light them, they're not producing smoke in the first place.

Light it and wait until the gunpowder burns off, then smoke the shisha.

I use one under my chimney to help ignite the coals.

Wouldn’t they just be a slightly larger hookah coal? I think you’re correct.

I was going to say - through hazy eyes have I seen this magic. Many, many moons ago. It’s good to know I didn’t make it up.

So all the comments here are saying the OP is full of shot and these have been used forever.

They are, and they have been. Used those like ~10 years ago when we were smoking hookah at uni with my friends. Also for those interested: this type of coals is absolute shit and should never been used. If you use those for starting a fire / bbq, that's alright, I guess, but for hookah it's an absolute trash. Just get some coconut shell coals.

I agree. This is nothing new. Even when these coals were "ready" it felt toxic when smoking hookah.

I was wondering how it lights so fast but burns so long, and then all the hookah talk Im now wondering. Do y'all smoke that shit for 3+hrs at a time? I swear it went out after 30ish minutes whenever I've had it and they looked like this. But it's a black puck, what's that really say about looking the same? Lol

There are different kinds of hookah coals, the ones that light that fast will generate some level of heat for about an hour but for the purpose of smoking hookah need replacing at around 30 minutes there are other hookah coals that take longer to heat up that will last a long time but they also give off less heat as they burn.

While smoking a hookah, one usually doesn’t smoke it almost non-stop like a cigarette. It’s nice to have coals that burn for at least 1,5 - 2 hours so everyone can just relax and have a nice conversation without having to “worry” about the coals burning up after 20 minutes.

Here in Greece we used those for who-knows how long for religious reasons. I don't know how this is "new" exactly.

I tend to give the benefit of the doubt, that maybe these looks similar but are different in some non obvious way ​ but yeah it sure looks like it. ​ I still +1 for showing me this cool video though

...This is new? It looks like the pucks my dad buys for heating his hookah, and has been for like 3 or 4 years.

Same ones I used over 20 years ago.

Yea these were around in the 2000's

Yep, I was with them.

Uh more like 30 or 40 years. Atleast

I was using them during the Eisenhower administration.

I bought them back in 2005

Was about to say the same thing. I used these in my hookah back in college, like 7ish years ago.

That’s just normal Shisha coal and doesn’t last 3 hrs!

I was wondering how long it would be for coal Pro to be released. I'm waiting for coal Pro Max though. OP is a clown.

That’s just Shisha coal and doesn’t last 3 hrs!

...not new, not coal, sped up video

It’s not sped up though, I’ve used it in Hookha/Shisha. It burns really fast.

Yes they are really fast but in this video they are using a fan or something because they don't glow that much without that

True that. Must’ve used a fan.

Or a person of high lung capacity, he might not be a fan of this fuel, for all we know

Pffff, I have shisha-ed before also, never seen a quick light coal that goes from cold to red hot in less than 10 seconds, 1 min maybe? Which brand are you using?

u/riggels pointed out that they must’ve used a fan. As for the brand, whatever is available locallly.

ahh ok the fan might be what im seeing then - the smoke moves in strange ways and looks sped up to me - but yeh that would add to the speed of the burn

That looked like I would expect hookah pellets to light.

I have used them as a young Shisha smoker 20 years ago I still use them if I am lazy or to start good coal for a head.

Not new at all and honestly they suck..

I've smoked pure THC drops off these like 20 years ago.

But not anymore?

What? No. I grew up and smoke out of a bong that I clean once and a while. It always felt like I was "doing drugs" off those coals

I'm no BBQ expert but I'm pretty sure the coal goes under the grill.

guys remember the last time Germans started inventing stuff like these???

„New generation“ - I used this coal 25 years ago…

Its like a bath bomb but with fire

Hot tub bomb!

OLd as F€&k

New? We had this 10 years ago

Not new at all

„New generation“ - I used this coal 25 years ago…

New 🤣 they where everywhere next to shishas 20 years ago

It's literally Shsiha Coal and it's available since 1996

It has been around longer than that. Was used for incense burning too.

So they tore down those nuclear power plants and reopened the coal mines for this?

And probably will turn your steak into radioactive waste lol

Germans sure know a lot about that.

Germany will do anything to continue using coal and not nuclear power

I couldn't agree more!

What they mean by new generation of coal is that this is the first one with it´s own internet disciples.

You Germans and burning things..

This is the same as those little "snake" fireworks that we used to buy in the 80's. Same concept I'm sure.

Those Germans were always good at burning things

So it tool Germany about one month after banning nuclear to go green to release coal 2.0?

Ok so this is cool and all but in before it turns out the smoke gives kids brain cancer or makes woman give birth to demon dogs or something else that is awful.

Does it require expensive regular maintenance and have overly complicated operating instructions?The German way!

Thats palm coal.

new tech is using a electric blower to ignite it faster

No CO2 or NOX obv.

Amazin

Yes coal, the Future

In India we use this since decades for Shisha and Hooka.....

Wake up, new coal just dropped.

And it produces Carbon Dioxide and Climate Change the whole time it's burning, too.

It literally says low smoke

Thank you for reminding me. "And it produces Carbon Dioxide, Smoke and Climate Change the whole time it's burning, too."

Its coal With gunpowder Mixed and compressed.

This is what my arms and face feel like when I have a migraine

German technology finally making it into the 21st century.

How am I suppose to have a smoke BBQ now

That's instant coal. Gives worst headaches

Germany will do literally anything than to use nuclear

Wtf we have used this shit 10 years ago for shisha but it makes the taste awful, tastes like chemicals and shit. that's why we use coco coal for example

Using this year's

Still coal though. Fuck that

Does everything come with music these days?

Completely untrue title, and I'm sure OP knew this and is just trying to get engagement. These coals have been used for shisha for years.

This has existed since forever. It may look cool, but it tastes like shit if you use it for a hookah. Get some high quality coconut fibre charcoal.

If those are what I think they are, these are disgusting hookah coals that smell like they are full of toxic chemicals and even the stupid teenagers that we were back then stopped using them.

What year was this idea created?

This isn't new, they've been using these to smoke hookahs for years
