I am not talking about bbq charcoal. The charcoal that I'm talking about gives off no smoke. It only smokes if one puts some frankincense or Myyr resin incense on the charcoal. They are made esspecialy for the Indian brass braziers. The brazier looks like a half of a goblet (or a bowl) with a half of a wide stem on the bottom. Occationally whole cloves are put on the charcoal to char so when one holds a mehndidesigned hand over it, the color will come out even darker from the cloves and the intense heat.
I hope this helped picture of what I'm talking about.
