{"product_id":"gorilla-kolen-28mm-1kg-kokosnoot-natuurlijke-waterpijp-kolen","title":"Gorilla Coals 28mm 1KG Coconut - Natural Hookah Coals for Powerful Shisha Sessions","description":"\u003cp\u003eGorilla coals have been a consistent choice for hookah enthusiasts for years who want high quality without paying for junk. The 28mm version is the large size: cubes of 28 by 28 by 28 millimeters, made from compressed coconut shells. No chemical additives, no quick-light, just pure coals. Each pack contains 1 kilogram, which amounts to a considerable number of sessions depending on your shisha and the amount of coals you use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes these hookah coals special?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 28mm size is larger than the common 25mm cubes. That difference sounds small, but you immediately notice it in practice. The coals retain heat longer, release more heat to your \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/shisha-tabakskoppen\"\u003ehookah bowl\u003c\/a\u003e, and need to be replaced less frequently. This is pleasant for longer sessions of an hour or more, and also when using a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/kaloud-en-metalen-chimney\"\u003eheat management device\u003c\/a\u003e such as a Kaloud or similar system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause they are coconut coals, they burn almost odorless. They do not give off a chemical aftertaste to your shisha tobacco or steam stones. You simply taste the flavor you have chosen, not the coal. Moreover, they produce little ash compared to cheaper alternatives. So less hassle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFor whom are Gorilla 28mm coals suitable?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese coals are best suited for experienced users. Not because they are complicated, but because you have to light them with an electric \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/shisha-kolenbrander\"\u003ehookah coal burner\u003c\/a\u003e. That takes about five to eight minutes. Those who are used to quick-light coals and want to retain that convenience might prefer a different type. But once you know how it works, you often don't want to go back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey are also suitable for shisha lounges and people who regularly hold sessions with multiple people. The 1kg packaging then lasts for several evenings, and the price per session is low compared to smaller or less durable alternatives.

Make sure all sides are glowing, including the inside. Half-glowing coals give uneven heat and release CO gas. You don't want that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStep two: place the coals on your \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/shisha-tabakskoppen\"\u003ehookah bowl\u003c\/a\u003e. If using aluminum foil, place them on the edge of the bowl. If using an HMD, place them in the device's basket. Start with two cubes for a standard bowl, and adjust the amount based on the heat you want.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStep three: give the hookah a minute or two to warm up before the first puffs. This way you won't burn your shisha tobacco right at the start. Use \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/waterpijp-tangen\"\u003ehookah tongs\u003c\/a\u003e to move or rotate the coals if one side needs more heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlways use the coals outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Burning coals produce carbon monoxide, even with natural types. Let used coals completely extinguish in a fire-safe container before disposing of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCleaning and maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe coals themselves do not require maintenance. What you do want to keep clean is your coal burner. Ash that accumulates on the coil of an electric burner causes uneven heating and shortens the life of the device. Wipe the burner with a dry cloth after it has cooled down. That's all there is to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ashtray or coal holder under your hookah also deserves attention. Wet ash is harder to remove. Let ash dry in a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/coal-catcher-shisha-waterpijp\"\u003ehookah coal catcher\u003c\/a\u003e and empty it after each session. This keeps your setup tidy and means you don't have to scrub as hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe right coals for your setup\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e28mm is the size for those who want high heat and are comfortable with fewer coal changes. Do you have a smaller bowl or a light shisha flavor that is sensitive to heat? Then consider the 25mm coals, which are slightly easier to dose. Both sizes are available in our range of \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/waterpijp-en-shisha-natuurkolen\"\u003ehookah and shisha natural coals\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you use an HMD, the 28mm cubes are almost standard. They fit well in the common sizes of popular heat managers and fill that space more efficiently than smaller blocks.

What also counts: a clean hookah hose, a well-adjusted bowl, and the right amount of tobacco.
