When the tablet has been lit, do not handle it, as it will cause a burn. Do not dispose of the ash remains in a waste paper bin, as this may cause a fire. Do not hold the tablet in your hand when lighting or when burning.

Lack of proper charcoal management is the main reason why a hookah will not taste right. What we want to do is get enough heat to "toast" the molasses but not go overboard with it so that it burns the molasses too quick without getting any flavor out of it.

There are two different kinds of charcoal that people use. One kind of charcoal that people use are "quick lights" (Swift Lite, starlight, three kings, three queens). Quick lights are simply; easy lighting charcoal. Most of them start right up within seconds of being in contact with a flame.
The other kind of charcoal that people use are "natural wood coals" (el-wady, baroody).
Natural coals are different then quick lights in that you have to place them in a pre-existing fire to get them to start up. For example, I get my natural coals lit by making a mini camp fire outside with sticks and some lighter fluid. Then putting the natural coals in the fire for a few minutes until they get lit. It isn't recommended to use natural coals indoors for obvious reasons. Below is a comparison between natural coals and quick lights.
