Coco Nara
Hookah Charcoal

Hookah charcoal can come in several different shapes. Coco Nara charcoals have a flat option for a versatile, medium heat that's meant to be used with foil or heat management devices (HMDs). There's also the cube Coco Nara Charcoal which burns at a slightly hotter temperature than the flats and increases the burn time. Keep in mind that both of these shapes require a charcoal burner. The quick-light options for Coco Nara coconut charcoal are shaped like discs and use an accelerant for light. But these also offer a lower level of heat.

You'll need to use an electric coil stove or charcoal burner to properly light Coco Nara natural coals. Place your charcoal directly on the electric coil burner and turn it up to high. Once the bottom half of the Coco Nara charcoals are lit, give them a flip with your tongs so the other side can light. Depending on the size of the natural coal you're using and the power of the burner, these will be fully lit after approximately 7 to 15 minutes, or when all sides are entirely red-orange. The Coco Nara quick-light coals can be lit using a standard lighter. Hold the flame to the edge of the hookah coals until you ignite sparks. These will be fully lit after approximately 2 to 3 minutes, or until the coal is red-orange.

For natural coconut coals, place two to three pieces of the Coco Nara charcoals on your hookah bowl. The number of pieces also depends on the size of the bowl and your choice of tobacco. These quick-light coals may only take around 5 to 15 minutes total to prepare.You will only need one to two pieces if you're using the Coco Nara quick-lighting charcoal.

Coco Nara coals burn for an average of 45 minutes to one hour, however, this can depend on several factors including coal type, shape, frequency of inhales, and the overall airflow surrounding your hookah. Using a charcoal wind cover or heat management device can help increase the overall performance of your coals if desired.

Natural charcoal is made from compressed coconut shells, which means it is environmentally friendly. In addition, natural charcoal is clean-burning and does not produce any smoke or residue, so it will not affect the flavor of your tobacco. Natural charcoal also lasts longer than other types of charcoal and boasts low ash production so you can enjoy your hookah session for longer periods with less ash in your bowl. Plus, CocoNara Hookah coals are some of the best natural coals on the market.
