Every summer we experience anew how difficult it is to get charcoal to burn for an extensive barbecue. It is exactly the same with hookah charcoal. Now, there is so-called quick lighting or self-igniting charcoal, but even this does not ignite by itself in the end. Lighters and e-heaters come in handy for these cases.
With our lighters, we at Kaya usually offer Torch or Jet Flame models for sale. These work with a powerful gas flame that could also be used to light a barbecue or flambé. Jet Flame lighters are great for lighting self-igniting coals as they only need to be heated strongly for a short time.
We offer charcoal lighters in various designs and sizes, on which, depending on the model, 4 briquettes up to a kilo of hookah charcoal can be lit. While with gas burners the coals are heated in a collecting tray, with electric charcoal lighters the charcoal lies on a grill grate like in an oven, to which heat is supplied from below via an electronic heating coil.
Electric devices in particular are easy to use and often have a stepless regulator to specifically control the heat input. A charcoal lighter is highly recommended, and not only for large quantities of charcoal.
