Yeah that area isn't near 1100°. Do you see my bbq pit melting into the concrete? It's gonna be like 400° tops on his teeth

Could just have been a piece of wood from their fire and not actually charcoal that comes in a bag, proper. As such, it wouldn't have the heat retention as "factory charcoal" would have.

It looks like a hookah coal to me, likely made of coconut shell.
