Lighting Cococha

You can use a bunsen burner or a heat plate.

Well, you can use, whatever´s got enough heat, to get the coal burning^^
Most people here use a camping stove, or something like that.

Yes, the full coal needs to glow...
Ißm not quite sure if you understand everything, or even a bit, but probably the pictures will be enough:

The best solution for making the hole coal glowing is, making it glow on one side an then put it on a construction like this --> http://www.hookah-community.de…ilight=kohledurchgl%FCher

You don´t have to put the whole Cococha on the plate or stove. You can break it into pieces and then light them, so it doesn´t take so long.

I've broken the cococha into 4 pieces and light 2 but it still won't get it FULLY glowing even after like 1-0 mins.

In that tutorial linked to, do I still have to make the coal glow before placing it on the device?

Yes of course!
It´s just so, that the coal will glow faster, if it gets more air/oxygen.
It also helps, blowing on the coal with your mouth, but this will probably be not that comfortable

you can put the coal in the mikrowave (!!!)

after one minute the coals glows a lil bit an you can blow air on to the coal.

just take a [computer-] fan or the thing which you take to dry your hair (I couldn't find the word "Haar-Fön" in the dictionary)

Attention:

Maybe it can smell al il bit if you put the coal too long in the microwave

I have a stove and a hot plate. The hot plate is not hot enough to light the coal and the camping stove takes forever.

Does the full coal need to be glowing before placing it?

Dont be so impatient! =) It will take a few minutes, but its worth it!

Read my instructions and do it like i tell you.

Step 1: Take a knife, or something like that and cut your coal into pieces.
Step 2: Take your stove and heat your coals up. If every side burns take the coal away.
Step 3: Before you do this steps you have to buy a can of beer or something like that. Take the can and cut the topsite and the undeside. Take an ashtray and a grill out of metal and put your coal on it. After that put your cutted can above the ashtray.
Step 4: Wait till the coal is red and on they coal has to be a ashframe.
Step 5: Happy smoking^^

hey dude

i think u can use everything thats hotter than 400 degreece. Most people uses a campingcooker (something like this: klick).

use a bunsen burner

Some peaple are Using Microwave. Cococha should glow after 20-30 secs with 900w. Never tried this

You shoul never try to use a microwave to light your cocochas if you don`t want this to happen!!!

The best way to light it probably is the bunsen burner!

You could use a stove top, and make a shield out of aluminum foil to shield the heat to make them heat up faster. You could also cut both ends off a coffee can and use that to shield the coal and help it to light faster on the stove.

A good blowtorch would really help too. Such as this ..
