So I've got a bag of "natural hardwood lump charcoal" that I use for grilling. Do you think it would be a bad idea to use a little hunk of this stuff? I'm pretty sure it would get the job done... It can't be much different from the manufactured coals I've been buying from some weird factory, right? ps. I'm smoking shisha out of it so no "are you chuffin the chumbus" comments, k? ;)

Anyone have experience with it, and know where I might find it in the States other than directly through the manufacturer's site? [more inside]
