Dum Hot Screen Set Clay Tobacco Head - Complete Chimney Set for Shisha and Hookah

Unglazed Clay Hookah Tobacco Head with Hot Screen

The Dum Hot Screen Set is a complete set for your hookah: a handmade unglazed clay tobacco head, combined with an iron Hot Screen. This combination makes it one of the most popular clay and stone tobacco heads for shisha enthusiasts who want to stop using aluminum foil. The head measures approximately 5.5 cm wide and 9 cm high. The tobacco chamber is about 1.9 cm deep and holds 25 to 30 grams of flavor or steam stones. More than enough for a long, full session.

Why unglazed clay works so well

Clay is the classic material for a hookah tobacco head. The unglazed inner wall is slightly porous. This means that the head absorbs a small amount of aroma with each use. After a few sessions, you'll notice the flavors becoming richer. You build character in the head, much like a good clay teapot.

Clay also distributes heat more evenly than silicone or glass. There are no hot spots that burn the flavor. The head heats up slowly and maintains a stable temperature. This is reflected in the smoke clouds: thicker, more consistent, and longer-lasting than with cheaper materials.

The Hot Screen replaces aluminum foil

The iron Hot Screen - also called a chimney - is the clever part of this set. You place it on top of the filled head. The coals go on the plate. The chimney distributes the heat over the entire surface and dissipates excess heat through the central pipe. This way, the tobacco or steam stones never overheat at one point.

No more cutting, no more poked holes, no more torn foil. You place the chimney on the head and you're ready. Want to adjust the temperature? Slide a coal closer to or further from the center. It's fast and intuitive. Especially when you compare the Dum Hot Screen with standard aluminum foil and pokers, this saves a lot of hassle during each session.

Airflow: central hole and twelve side holes

A good tobacco head has sufficient airflow. The Dum clay tobacco head has one large central hole and twelve smaller side holes. This combination ensures a smooth airflow from bottom to top. You draw easily, without resistance, and the smoke you get is full and dense. For those who like to smoke strong, thick clouds with their shisha, this head immediately shows the difference.

Who is this set for?

The Dum Hot Screen Set is suitable for both beginners and experienced shisha smokers. Beginners appreciate that the set is complete: head and chimney together. You don't have to look for separate foil or extra accessories. Experienced users choose this set because clay simply provides the best flavor experience and the Hot Screen works much more precisely than foil.

Do you have a hookah from Dum or another brand? The head fits most standard connections. Are you in doubt? Compare the headpiece of your current hookah. This head fits directly on most Dum shisha hookahs and other popular models.

Setup and use step by step

Loosely fill the head with tobacco or steam stones. Do not press too hard - airflow is important. Make sure the filling stays just below the rim, so the Hot Screen fits well without touching the filling. Place the chimney on the head. Light your hookah coals and place them on the plate when they are fully burned through. Two 25mm coals or three small blocks work well with this head.

Wait two to three minutes before starting. The clay needs some time to reach temperature. After that, the hookah draws smoothly and evenly. Want to adjust the heat? Use hookah tongs to move the coals without touching the Hot Screen.

Cleaning and maintenance

Always let the head cool completely before cleaning it. Clay can crack with large temperature shocks. Rinse the head with lukewarm water and clean the inside with a soft brush. Do not use strong cleaning agents or dish soap - these will be absorbed by the porous clay and you will taste it later in your session.

Wash the iron Hot Screen with warm water. Is there baked-on residue? A short soak in warm water will dissolve it. Dry the parts well before storing them. Store the set in a dry place. This way, the combination of clay and iron will last for years.

Also works with steam stones

The Dum Hot Screen Set works excellently with steam stones or Shiazo steam stones. The deep tobacco chamber keeps the stones in place and the heat is evenly distributed. The deep bowl prevents molasses or moisture from leaking into the hookah.

Complete your session

A good head is the base, but the rest of your setup also counts. Use natural coals for the best flavor. Add an electric coal burner so you can always start quickly. Choose a hookah hose that matches your style. And put a molasses catcher in between to keep your hookah cleaner for longer.
