yes was just going to say HOTPLATE. Than basically you can eat anything you want minus the cooking in the over but that can be combated with grilling in a pan

Coiled hot plate, bought from Amazon. I smoke w/ friends and this has been one of the best investments ever.

u/VenetiaMacGyver · 5 pointsr/interesting

>isn't that a great idea?

A hot iron boiling liquid while precariously positioned between two textbooks? Nope!

If you're hard-up on cash and don't have a stove, how about a hotplate? Here, I found one for $14.99, cheaper than most clothing irons.

Or, you can make a hobo stove for free (and if you don't have the extremely minimal requirements, dumpster dive for 'em) outdoors or on a patio!

OR, make an indoors Sterno Stove with a tin can, can opener, and $3 worth of Sterno!

The above are all considerably safer, AND probably cheaper. Especially since this could end in your ruining two textbooks, an iron, and possibly a wall outlet and/or any skin that comes in contact with the inevitably-gonna-spill liquid.

Do yourself a favor and buy a box of coco nara coals. You'll never go back to quick lights. You'll need something to light them with, but you can get something fairly cheap at a drug store on here on Amazon. Just make sure they're fully lit (no dark/black spots) and flip them halfway through lighting. I promise you the difference is amazing.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!

i would get something like this. Doesnt need to be exactly this one but with the open heat element it will work way better. At least i noticed this for myself. I use one like that for now 3 years and never had a problem since.

u/Doctor_or_FullOfCrap · 3 pointsr/hookah

I accidentally bought one of these a while back as well. You need one with an actaul coil top. That one won't get near hot enough.

This is the one that I use and it works fine.

u/FourZoko · 3 pointsr/hookah

This is what I use to light my Coconaras. It does take about 10-15 minutes to get them going, but it's totally worth the wait. I imagine that your blowtorch method would work just fine on natural coals, too.

Waiting for the coals to get ready gives me a chance to clean the hookah thoroughly before I start smoking. Now I smoke out of a freshly-cleaned hookah almost every time.

Your welcome and thanks. I will pull the pictures of it in operation off my actual camera and post them later tonight or tomorrow. The ones I posted here were all taken with my phone. So I while searching online for tips on this, there were a few people who used the foil and stated it helped maintain the heat. Being I built this in the middle of winter when we were seeing single digit temps I figured it couldn't hurt. I couldn't tell you if it did or not help though, so may be bogus. For my heating source I used two coil type single stove burners similar to these.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000690WNU/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1421282572&sr=8-3&dpPl=1&dpID=41SlDlhogIL&ref=plSrch&pi=AC_SX200_QL40

Do note in a test run I tried to use one of the non-coil type and it didn't work; such as these:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0007QCRNU/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1421282572&sr=8-1&dpPl=1&dpID=41Gn-mNe9cL&ref=plSrch&pi=AC_SX200_QL40

Also note that most people were saying 1200-1500 watt hot plates where mine were 750 and 900. Might have better efficiency with the higher watt ones.

Then on one of the burners I placed a thin metal mixing bowl, like these ones:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00QVO3SYE/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?qid=1421282900&sr=8-5&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70

With as you stated wood soaked wood chips. Once I got into a rythm I was swapping in a new bowl of chips every 1 1/2 - 2 hours.

Let me know what else you are interested in knowing.

u/[deleted] · 2 pointsr/hookah

Got mine off amazon

u/caseinpoint · 2 pointsr/wicked_edge

Not to burst your bubble, but couldn't you just get a hot plate for about $15, use a pot you have in your kitchen, and a towel over your head?

I guess this would use less power, but I think you would have more uses for a hot plate.

Or you could get an electric kettle for about $12.

Now you have me wanting one!

u/reznik_ · 1 pointr/hookah

Are they natural coals or quicklights? If they're natural, a coil burner like this would work perfectly well.

If they're quicklights, all you need is a lighter.

u/rubsitinyourface · 1 pointr/hookah

I use a scientific hot plate I got off amazon. Here. It will take longer than a blow torch but it gets the job done.

u/esseestpercipi · 1 pointr/EatCheapAndHealthy

Ah, dorm life. :-/ I bought myself a stand-alone burner to cook stuff, but that was not strictly legal.

Here are some resources that might interest you though: 1 2 3 4

u/Niggafromparis · 1 pointr/hookah

Little late to the party but if youre thinking of getting another one, i totally recommend this one from amazon!

We use a couple of these bad boys at our lounge and these things COOK. The longevity is amazing!

u/jkingaround · 1 pointr/hookah

it's a proctor silex 1000w single coil burner. if you can't find one locally:

u/Akiraddb · 1 pointr/hookah

This. You can order one off Amazon for 15 dollars. Best stove you can buy to heat up those natural coals.

u/askinnydude · 1 pointr/EatCheapAndHealthy

Can you afford to add a George Foreman grill type appliance or a hot plate? Would open up some additional options for you, like grilled sandwiches (grilled cheese, chicken/swiss), and pasta dishes. Quick look on Amazon shows you can get a hot plate for $15.

Of course that might complicate things because then you'd space for it and some pots and pans, but it might be worth checking into.

u/EraserGirl · 1 pointr/Frugal

there are some cookbooks on amazon for frugal student cooking
used copies plus shipping is about $5. and some have great reviews.

Obviously there some awesome websites for recipes http://studentrecipes.com/ http://www.budgetbytes.com/


What i found useful were recipes you could make from raw ingredients you could get easily cheaply and store well. this is why pasta, rice and noodles are popular. the base is always handy and all you have to do is add dressings. Cans of beans and nuts are also great ways to add a protein to your meal without having to worry about it going bad before you eat it.

Find about 12 recipes you like and can make easily and then just rotate them. That's enough to keep you from being bored, save MEAT centered recipes for once a week, such as in a crockpot and the rest of the week eat meat free. Because meat is the most expensive ingredient and the easiest to screw up and let it go bad before you remember to cook it. Essentially you buy the meat on the same day you cook it and the leftovers go in the fridge and have to be eaten before the next time you cook meat, so the leftover won't go blue and fuzzy.



Indeed a crockpot is essentia Proctor 1.5 slow cooker $13 but i'd get the biggest one you can afford. ...actually when i moved in this apartment i had no serious money and no stove. I started off with all the inexpensive items from Proctor Silex - usually sold in walgreens, cvs, and other cheap appliance stores... Proctor 1 liter electric kettle $14 Proctor Toaster Oven $22 Proctor Hot Plate $14 which does have a draw back for boiling large pots of anyting, it's really a more egg frying/ grilled cheesy thing. Black and Decker has a 3 cup rice cooker for $12

It is easy for your dorm room to get unkempt if you start cooking in it for real, so a dedicated foot locker perhaps upright with shelves banged in. Put everything away clean when you don't use it. Put a dishpan in the locker, 1st thing you take out put your dirty items in it as you cook and eat, then take it to the bathroom and wash everything and then bring it all back and put it in the footlocker and then put everything in on top.

One of my favorite books was Cooking in a Bedsitter by Whitehorn..an English cookery book, but the ideas worked. A bedsitter is a dorm room with no running water, no fridge and nothing but a gas ring/hot plate to cook on. So basically you have to really think out what you are going to make and plan ahead. My solution was to cook small amounts very often so i didn't have to store a lot of food or leftovers.
