Why an electric charcoal burner?

  • Easy: plug it in and wait.
  • Safe: no open flame needed.
  • Even: the plate heats the coals all around.
  • Ideal for home: a fixed spot next to your hookah.

How does an electric charcoal burner work?

The hot plate gets hot as soon as you plug it into the socket. Place two to three natural charcoals on it and wait until they are fully glowing. Turn them halfway for an even result.

How long does it take?

Allow five to ten minutes for your natural charcoals to fully glow. That's a bit slower than gas, but you don't have to do anything.

Electric or gas?

An electric charcoal burner is perfect for home use. Are you often on the go or don't always have a power outlet handy? Then consider a gas charcoal burner.

Which coals?

Safe use

Place the charcoal burner on a heat-resistant surface, keep an eye on it during use, and unplug it when you're done. Let it cool down before storing it.

Complete your shisha

Combine with good natural coals, a hookah bowl, and your favorite shisha flavors.

A fixed spot in your shisha setup

Many smokers place the electric charcoal burner in a fixed, heat-resistant spot near their hookah. This way, it's always ready, and you don't have to search for it. Combine with charcoal tongs to safely move the glowing coals.
