Definition
A heat management device (HMD) is a heat management system for shishas that consists of a charcoal tray and a chimney tube. The tray sometimes has a silicone handle for easier handling. Heat management devices are especially suitable for beginners because they regulate heat and reduce the risk of burning the tobacco. Excess heat escapes through the chimney tube, maintaining a constant temperature.
How it works
How Heat Management Device (Kaminaufsatz) works
The heat management device is placed on the shisha bowl, and the coals are placed on the tray. The heat distributes evenly over the tobacco while excess heat escapes through the chimney tube. This keeps the tobacco fresh longer and prevents it from burning too quickly. However, in some cases, this can cause some flavors not to fully develop because the heat is less intense than with other heat management systems like the HMD.
