320° Stainless Foil Poker — 12 cm 304 stainless flex-tip for perfect airflow
Our 320° Stainless Foil Poker gives you clean, consistent foil holes for even heat and smooth draw. At just 12 cm, it slips into any kit while the rippled grip and bend-friendly needle keep control precise under heat.
Why it stands out
- Micro-clean punctures — 1.5 mm tip glides through heavy-duty foil without tearing.
- Custom patterns — flexible tip bends to your hole layout, then springs back to shape.
- Grip & safety — rippled stainless handle stays cool and slip-free mid-session.
- Built to last — 304 stainless steel resists rust, drops and heat up to 320 °C.
- Travel-ready — compact 12 cm length fits roll-up pouches and cases.
Fits with
- Heavy-duty, pre-cut foil sheets (plain or pre-poked).
- Natural coconut coals (25–26 mm cubes).
- All standard phunnel & Egyptian bowls; foil-over-HMD packs welcome.
- 1000W electric charcoal burners.
Setup & tips
- Stretch foil drum-tight, angle the needle slightly, and work from centre outwards.
- Phunnel: 20–30 holes; Traditional clay: 40+ evenly spaced to the rim.
- Start with 2–3 × 25–26 mm cubes; add/vent as flavour and heat require.
Performance
Expect even bowl breathing with clean purge and stable heat. Uniform hole size keeps flavour clear and clouds dense, whether you’re running blonde-leaf or dark-leaf packs.
Maintenance & care
- Rinse with warm water after each session and towel-dry to prevent spots.
- Avoid hard sideways bends while hot; flex gently and let it cool flat.
- Store needle-down in a sheath or silicone cap.

FAQ
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Will the needle lose its flex? | No — gentle bends spring back; avoid heavy sideways force when hot. |
Dishwasher safe? | Yes, but hand-rinsing helps keep the tip sharper for longer. |
Do I still need it with an HMD? | Yes — poked foil lets the HMD breathe and stabilises temperatures. |
