Quick Light Charcoal Tablets for Incense – 33mm Capsules – Charcoal Disk Lights – Instant Fire Coal Tablets – Set of 100 Charcoal Disks per Box

I use these in a swinging censor for Divine Liturgy in a very small space (I am a priest). This works extremely well in this context for two reasons. First, since the space is small, I burn very small amounts of incense so as not to make the room too Smokey. So, I don't need a large coal. I used to break the large ones in half. Second, since this is a small space (chapel) and not a church, I don't need to go around the church and such with the censor. So, I don't need the coal to burn as long. If, for some reason, I need to add a second coal, there is ample room in the censor to add another coal right next to the existing. You can see in the picture that there is plenty of space.This is the second box of these I have used and I have no problem with any of the coals lighting. It is important, however, to keep them stored in a dry place as humidity can make any coal hard to light. The individually wrapped packages are a very good idea. Lighting them there is the typical smell of self-starting coals—nothing unusual there. The shape of the coals is also good as it holds the incense in place. For my purposes, these could not be a better product.

I tried several other bands of similar charcoal before I stumbled on charcoal master. In every respect it is superior to the other brands I tried. One of the problems I had with the other brands were that often they would not burn after the initial sparkly stuff that is supposed to do the trick is finished. Too often I had to use a small butane torch to light the charcoal after the sparkly stuff was done, and then the charcoal would not burn evenly and would not burn to completion. I've also had charcoal that burned too quickly even though it was also hard to start. I have not had any of these problems with this charcoal. It starts as it should. Shortly after the sparkly part is over, the entire little briquet takes on a whitish appearance and it burns steadily, slowly and completely. No problems. Now that I've found a brand that works as it should, I have no reason to experiment with other brands.

The initial start up smells a little. I'll take that any day over those charcoal cubes. I was skeptical at first about the lemon flavor; however, these coals do not have that lingering burning smell in your home & they do not affect the flavor of your shisha. They last about 45 minutes. Odorless in my opinion.

Using for my bakhoor collection and works well. It does simmer and slight mini sparks initially, but nothing concerning. Has burned consistently as needed so far and lasts within the hour as expected. It does give off that sulfur or slight sulfur smell as it’s burning but once it’s ready, after a few minutes, for me to put my incense on, the smell is gone. I haven’t had any dud coals so far in the first pack. But it’s bound to happen with any. I will continue to buy. But will also try other brands.

my number one thing was is there going to be sparks or anything and there was not any. smells amazing and love

Smells wonderful and easy to start. I keep the unused coals wrapped up and closed tight as I’ve had coals to dry out but these coals are awesome and they catch right away. I use my resin on the coals and viola my house smells like a Zen Temple.

I really like these little discs! These are a bit smaller than the charcoal discs that I’ve always seen. I included a picture of an “average” sized disc next to one of these. These are a bit larger than an American quarter. I like the size a lot as I usually had to break the others in half or just let it burn out after I was done using it and that always felt wasteful. These still burn for maybe almost an hour or so. They burn well and light up easily.EDIT— okay after using these discs for a couple of months, I’d say only about 75-80 percent of the discs work at all. I often have one spark up and then just fizzle out. Removed a star from the rating.DOUBLE EDIT- after continuing to use these, I’ve removed an additional star because a LOT of these just absolutely refuse to light. Sucks, I like the small size.
