Cerberus Coco Gen 2 Hexa 23x48mm Shisha Charcoal 10kg Lounge Box

The long burning shisha coal, by the ten kilo

Cerberus Coco Gen 2 Hexa, ten kilograms of 23 by 48 mm six sided sticks loose in one sealed liner. The hexa is the shape for a long session: more coal per piece than a cube, so it burns longer at a steady heat, and the flat sides let it lean on a mesh screen without rolling. Gen 2 is the hotter formula from ShishaDoc in Melbourne. Made in Indonesia from coconut shell only.

Why this one

• Longer burn, controlled length A 48 mm stick holds more coal than a cube, so each piece burns longer. The length is fixed, so heat placement stays predictable.
• Leans on mesh Six flat sides sit still on a mesh screen or foil. No rolling, no repositioning every few minutes.
• Hotter, faster Gen 2 lights quicker and runs hotter than the first formula, and it recovers after a run of pulls instead of fading.
• Low ash, high density 2.2 percent ash as printed on the box. The stick holds its shape under tongs and keeps the tray clean.
• Loose, not boxed Ten kilograms in one sealed liner with silica sachets, the way lounges buy it. Scoop out what you need and close it again.

Questions

What is a Lounge Box?

Ten kilograms of coal loose in one sealed liner inside a plain carton, the way venues buy it. There are no 1 kg retail boxes inside. Same Gen 2 coal, less packaging.

What is different about Gen 2?

ShishaDoc reformulated the coal for higher heat. Gen 2 lights faster, recovers after a few pulls and leaves less ash, with a denser press that holds together on the burner.

Will a hexa fit a Kaloud style device?

Two sticks lie side by side in most large devices. Check your lid closes before you commit a whole bowl to it. The hexa is at its best on a mesh screen or foil, where it leans and stays put.

How many do I use?

Two or three for a normal bowl. Two hexa sticks cover about the same area as three cubes, so you rotate fewer pieces.

How do I light them?

On an electric or gas charcoal burner only, on medium heat. High heat cracks the coal. Wait until every face glows with a light grey ash, then move them with tongs. Never use lighter fluid and never light them indoors.

Do these run hot?

Yes, hotter than the first Cerberus Coco formula. If you are used to a milder coal, start with one piece fewer than usual and add heat as the bowl settles.
