Definition
A wind cover is a metal cap placed over the shisha bowl to protect the charcoal from wind and to trap heat. This results in more even heating of the tobacco, which can improve smoke production. Most wind covers are made from lightweight sheet metal and are especially intended for outdoor use. However, they are less common today as many smokers prefer charcoal protection grids instead.
How it works
How Wind Cover works
The wind cover is placed over the bowl and reduces air circulation around the charcoal. This protects the embers from wind gusts and helps concentrate heat around the bowl. This allows the tobacco to be heated more intensely if needed by leaving the wind cover on longer. Especially outdoors, it prevents the charcoal from burning unevenly or going out.
Benefits
Why Wind Cover convinces
- Protection from wind: Prevents charcoal from cooling too quickly or sparks from flying.
- Better heat development: Trapped heat leads to more intense warming of the tobacco.
- Easy to use: Can be quickly placed over and removed from the bowl.
