The hookah charcoal also known as “coals” is placed over the tin foil that is covering the tobacco. Prior to lighting the coals, it is recommend that the charcoal is broken in half in order to properly fit on the tin foil and bowl, so that it does not roll off or that it is not too big for the foil.

After the hookah charcoal has turned red, place at least 2 pieces on the edge of the hookah bowl and begin inhaling. Soon the smoke will come out of the hose and your hookah is started.
