Guides on How to Make Instant Lighting Hookah Coal Briquettes

#Instant lighting hookah coals (also called "quick-light" or "self-lighting" coals) are a convenient option for hookah sessions—no need for a stove, heater, or long preheating. Below is a comprehensive guide covering how to use them safely, choose quality coals, avoid common mistakes, and maximize your hookah experience:

1. What Are Instant Lighting Hookah Coals?

Instant lighting coals are compressed charcoal briquettes treated with a flammable accelerant that ignites quickly with a lighter or match. They eliminate the need for a coal stove or electric burner, making them ideal for travel, outdoor use, or casual sessions.

2. Step - by - Step Production Process

Carbonization → Crushing → Mixing → Pressing → Drying → Packing

2.1 Carbonization and Crushing: First, carbonize the selected raw materials (such as orange wood, apple wood) in a carbonization furnace. Heat them at a controlled temperature in an oxygen - free environment to convert them into charcoal with high carbon content. Then, put the carbonized charcoal into a crusher and grind it into powder with a particle size of less than 5mm. Uniform particle size can ensure even burning and molding effect of the briquettes.

2.2 Mixing Charcoal Powder and Binder: Pour the crushed charcoal powder into a mixer, add the prepared starch - based binder according to the proportion. While mixing, slowly add an appropriate amount of water, and stir until the mixture forms a thick paste that can be kneaded without scattering. The moisture content of the mixture should be controlled at about 30% to avoid difficulty in molding due to excessive dryness or looseness due to excessive humidity.

2.3 Pressing into Briquettes: Put the mixed paste into a briquette pressing machine. Under high pressure, the mixture is pressed into briquettes of the desired shape and size through molds. The pressure of the pressing machine should be adjusted reasonably. Excessive pressure will make the briquettes too hard and affect combustion, while insufficient pressure will lead to easy fragmentation.

2.4 Drying: Transfer the pressed briquettes to a drying oven. Dry them to remove excess moisture. This step can make the shape of the briquettes fixed and prevent deformation during subsequent processing. The drying process should be carried out in a well - ventilated environment to avoid moisture accumulation.

2.5 Inspection and Packaging: Sampling inspection is carried out on the finished briquettes. Check whether they can be ignited quickly with a lighter (the qualified ones should catch fire within 40 seconds), and test their burning time and ash content. Qualified products are sealed and packaged with moisture - proof packaging materials to prevent the accelerant from deteriorating due to moisture and affecting the ignition effect.
