More about Al Duchan

Al Duchan quality & material

Al Duchan natural charcoal is pressed from coconut shells and impresses with its high strength. In contrast to quick-ignition charcoal, it hardly produces any smell when lit and leaves significantly less ash behind. The even heat distribution ensures that your tobacco is heated optimally without burning.

With REACH certification, you can be sure that it does not contain any harmful chemicals. This makes Al Duchan one of the cleanest natural charcoals on the market. Whether Virginia or dark blend tobacco – with Al Duchan you get the maximum flavor out of every session.

📏 Available sizes:

26mm (RZA) – Compact, faster annealing, ideal for Phunnel heads and HMDs
28mm (BLACK) – More mass, longer burn time, perfect for large heads and long sessions

The perfect setup with Al Duchan coal

The Al Duchan RZA 26mm is ideal for Phunnel heads in combination with a Smokebox (HMD). Three coals are enough for a complete session of 60-90 minutes. For larger setups or multi-hole heads, it's best to use this Al Duchan BLACK 28mm.

Light the coals on an electric charcoal lighter until they are completely smoldering and grayish-white. This way you avoid unpleasant taste and carbon monoxide. Never light with a lighter or gas stove - this doesn't work with natural charcoal.

💡 Tip for beginners: Start with the Al Duchan RZA 26mm – the more compact cubes are easier to handle and you can regulate the heat better. If you feel like you need more power, get on it BLACK 28mm around.

Frequently asked questions about Al Duchan (FAQ)

What kind of brand is Al Duchan?

Al Duchan is a manufacturer of premium natural charcoal made from coconut shells for shisha. The brand stands for sustainable production without felling trees, REACH certification and chemical-free coal. Al Duchan coal is known for its high strength, low ash formation and lack of taste.

What Al Duchan coal sizes are there?

Al Duchan offers two sizes: The RZA with 26x26x26mm edge length and the BLACK with 28x28x28mm. Both come in 1kg packs. The smaller RZA is particularly suitable for Phunnel heads and HMDs, while the larger BLACK is ideal for long sessions and large heads.

How do I light Al Duchan charcoal correctly?

Al Duchan natural charcoal must be lit on an electric charcoal lighter. Place the coals on the heating coil and wait until they are completely glowing and gray-white - this takes about 8-12 minutes. Never use a lighter or gas stove as natural charcoal is not self-igniting.

Does Al Duchan coal smell when you light it?

No, Al Duchan natural charcoal hardly produces any smell when lit. Unlike quick-ignition carbon, it contains no chemical additives or accelerators. Once the coal has burned through, it is completely odorless and does not affect the taste of the tobacco.

Which Al Duchan size for which head?

For Phunnel heads and HMDs like the Kaloud Lotus we recommend the Al Duchan RZA 26mm - three carbons fit perfectly on most HMDs. For larger multi-hole bowls or if you smoke for particularly long sessions, the Al Duchan BLACK 28mm are a better choice as they offer more heat and longer burn time.

How long does Al Duchan burn coal?

Al Duchan natural charcoal burns between 60 and 90 minutes depending on the size. The smaller RZA 26mm lasts around 60-70 minutes, the larger BLACK 28mm lasts up to 90 minutes. This means you can usually get through a complete shisha session with one set of coals.

Is Al Duchan charcoal made from coconut shell?

Yes, Al Duchan charcoal is made exclusively from coconut shells. This is a renewable raw material - no trees are felled. Coconut charcoal is considered the best base for shisha natural charcoal because it burns evenly, produces little ash and has no taste of its own.

What makes Al Duchan coal special?

Al Duchan stands out from many other charcoal brands thanks to its REACH certification. This means that the coal has been tested for harmful substances and is classified as safe. Added to this is the particularly low odor development when lighting, the high strength of the cubes and the constantly even heat emission over the entire burning time.
