How long do they take to light with a regular lighter

A Bernz-O-Matic type propane torch works great. You need to construct a fire can for this. If you try to light the coals on top of the hookah the foil will burn or the bowl will crack. You can also build a small wood fire to set the coals alight. The most hassle free way to light them is to use an electric charcoal lighter. It is like an electric stove burner with a steel basket on top to put the coals in. If you have a gas stove, they light nicely on the stove. Try this. Take a cheap french fry basket from Walmart and put your coals in it, turn a stove burner on high, set the basket on the burner. When at least half of each coan is glowing good, you are good to go. If you have an electric hot plate, (the old fashion resistance kind, not the inductance type) you can use it for a charcoal lighter, but I suspect the burner element will likely fail prematurely from the temperature difference between the red hot and the not so hot where the coarcoals are sucking out all the heat. YMMV. I think of these, a regular electric charcoal lighter is the most practical method, and they are only like $25 to $28 online.
