Hookah Coal Basket

Many hookah smokers underestimate the value of a coal basket for their hookah, but once you've used one, you won't want to be without it! We'll explain how a hookah coal basket can make your life easier.

Why use a coal basket? Make your hookah sessions more relaxed

Do you currently transport glowing coals using just a coal tongs from the coal heater to your hookah? Or do you place them in the HMD to carry it to the hookah? That can go terribly wrong, because if you're not careful, the coals can easily fall. When that happens, you won't be able to react quickly enough to prevent damage to your parquet, laminate, or carpet.

With a coal basket, that won’t happen – you can simply place every glowing piece of coal in the coal basket and carry it to your hookah. Then, you just need to put the natural coals into the HMD and enjoy your session.

📄 Before you need a hookah coal basket, you first need to know how to light your hookah coal. We've summarized the most important tips and tricks for you in our guide!

How to find the right hookah coal basket

What should you consider when choosing a coal basket for your hookah? To help you decide, we’ll show you the differences between various coal basket models. These differences mainly include size, material, shape, and color.

The right size

The height of coal baskets is usually similar and typically ranges between 30 cm and 40 cm – the main difference lies in the size of the basket. So, what should you keep in mind when making your choice?

  • If you frequently host friends and prepare multiple bowls simultaneously, you should opt for a basket with a large container. This way, you can transport all the hookah coals at once.
  • If you mostly smoke alone or always prepare one hookah for multiple people, a smaller hookah coal basket will suffice.

The material of your coal basket

Choosing the right material is crucial. We offer models made of stainless steel, chrome-plated steel, and cast iron.

  • The advantage of the stainless steel option is that it won't rust. If your coal basket might be exposed to rain, choose this variant.
  • Chrome-plated steel baskets may develop rust if they are frequently exposed to moisture.
  • A cast iron coal basket is highly durable, stable, and excellent at retaining heat.

How can I light hookah coal without a heater?

You can light your hookah coal without a dedicated heater if you have an older stove. Place the coal on the stove (or on a mesh stand above it), turn it after five minutes, and it should soon be ready for your coal basket. This won’t work with induction or ceramic stoves.


How does fully lit coal look?

Your coal is ready when it glows orange-red from all sides with no black spots. Always ensure the coal is fully lit before putting it into your coal basket to avoid altering the flavor of your hookah.


What sizes are available for hookah coal?

Hookah coal cubes are available in sizes 26 × 26 × 26 mm and 27 × 27 × 27 mm. The smaller size is better for beginners due to its shorter burn time. The 27 mm cubes provide more heat and are better suited for advanced smokers.
