Hey folks.
Paul here for Hookah.org and I have a video how-to for you.
This one is for how to smoke Jurak.
You should already have seen my write up about what Jurak is and more or less how to handle
this stuff.
The big problem here when it comes to smoking Jurak, and you can see, that's basically the
black void of space in there; its about as dark as it gets when it comes to black moassel.
That's what Jurak looks like most of the time.
It looks like a burnt out hockey puck, which makes it very hard to pack.
How do you take that and fluff pack it into a bowl?
I use a sharpened oyster fork that I get right in here and just essentially start scrapping
it off.
I hope you can see this is taking the large chunk of tobacco and breaking it up into much
smaller chunks, which then I am able to fluff pack into the bowl.
You're going to have to probably still use your fingers a little bit, which makes them
look like this, but eventually you end up with this, which is a nice shallow bowl filled
with small little chunks of tobacco.
It's filled pretty much right up to the top.
That's going to get pressed down just a little bit, but you want to make sure that there's
actual air flow; you can see just barely right in there the holes of the bowl, so this will
still smoke very well.
The next step is actually packing it up.
I suggest a single layer of normal foil.
No heavy duty.
No double layers.
Trust me; this stuff needs a lot of heat.
On a bowl like this, I would actually probably end up using three full [00:02:08] or just
coconut block coals.
I'm going to load that up and we will be right back and I will show you what kind of smoke
you can expect from Jurak.
Real quick, I realized I didn't show you.
This is how I poke holes for Jurak.
It's very similar to how I poke holes for just about everything else.
You want a lot of airflow.
You want this to be wide open.
The foil is really just here to keep the coals from directly touching the tobacco, but it's
going to be real close because this stuff needs crazy high amounts of heat.
You really just want to keep it from actually contacting and burning into nasty acrid smoke.
Hey folks.
We're back.
As you can see the smoke from Jurak is a little thin and wispy.
This is actually lighter than it probably should be.
I haven't moved the coals in a bit.
What really matters with the Jurak is the flavor.
That's what you should be focusing on.
I prefer to personally use a leather hose or at least an unwashable so I can allow the
flavors to really soak into it and use the one hose for all black moassel and Juraks.
The bowl that you saw earlier, I have three cocoa Mazaya on right now and this is still
how light the smoke is and that is because there is absolutely no glycerin of any kind
in Jurak so you're going to be dealing with just molasses and tobacco and spices and that's
it.
That's the rundown for smoking Jurak.
In storing Jurak, I suggest the refrigerator.
I don't really keep any hookah tobacco in the refrigerator other than Jurak and things
like that because they will grow mold, which is really bad, and I'm going to be doing another
video on mold prevention and the best possible way to actually store these things.
Look for that in the future, but make sure to go down below, like and subscribe, give
us that thumbs up.
Hopefully this will help you to enjoy a more classic tobacco from time to time.
It definitely helps me to relax at the end of the day.
