I recently got a pipe for at home and had a really bad attempt at getting it going today.

I bought some regular barbecue charcoal from the super market which made me cough up. I now have a headache and i think i have poisened myself with toxic fumes.

Someone on here must know what they are doing - what coles should i use and where can i get em.

Dude, unless your place is properly ventilated you can easily die from Carbon Monoxide poisoning. Many people do (from fireplaces when the flume is blocked and from "indoor" barbeques). Be careful!!!

For thr love of God, go outside for sheesha, pay 15-20 dhs is better than burning down the house !!

yeah id follow palkids advice...unless you know how to make argeela you should just opt to going to the cafes....you're better off

Don't worry this was on the balcony so it was outdoors in the shade.

Anyone got any ideas on Coal - or am i just mad trying to do this??

I have a local shop where they make me a really nice cup of earl grey and grape shisha but he shuts at 9pm and i like an evening smoke from the comfort of home.
