Definition

A coal lighter is a device used to heat natural coal for the shisha. The most common are electric coal lighters, available in various sizes and types—from small models to toaster-like devices. For on-the-go use, there are gas lighters or special coal lighters that operate with natural grill starters and require neither electricity nor gas.

How it works

How Coal Lighter works

The coals are placed on the coal lighter and evenly heated until glowing by the heat source. Electric coal lighters use a heating coil or heating plate, while gas lighters work with an open flame. Alternatively, there are models that function with fuel paste or natural grill starters, making them independent of electricity and gas.
