Na Grani stainless HMD — 74 mm contact, open-top control for smoother flavour
In simple terms: this is a stainless-steel heat manager that sits on top of your bowl and replaces foil. You drop your hot coals into it and it spreads the heat evenly so your shisha warms, not burns. Why get one? It keeps flavour cleaner, reduces ash mess, and makes heat control easier. How it works: the heavy AISI 304 stainless body stores and releases heat steadily, while the open-top design lets you fine-tune by moving or adding a coal rather than juggling foil.
What sets it apart
- Stable heat curve from a solid AISI 304 stainless body that buffers temperature swings.
- Lotus-size fit confidence with a 74 mm bowl contact and ~56 mm internal width for most 70–75 mm rims.
- Open-top control built for 2–3 × 26 mm cubes (edge-heat with a 3rd or 4th when desired) for dialled flavour.
- Cleaner sessions thanks to a raised floor that keeps ash away from the mix and reduces harsh spikes.
- Built to last in one-piece stainless construction, supplied in a branded wooden box for safe storage.
Fit & compatibility
Best on bowls with a Lotus-style rim diameter around 72–76 mm (typical phunnel bowls). Works with most modern clay/stone phunnels. For bowl ideas, explore our Phunnel Hookah Bowls. Brand collection: Na Grani.
How to dial it in
- Start with 2 × 26 mm cubes inside the HMD; after 5–7 min, add a 3rd if you want denser clouds.
- If flavour thins, nudge coals toward the edge; if notes get sharp, pull one back or rest it half-in, half-out.
- Rotate coals every 6–8 min; tap ash into your tray, not into the HMD.
Craft & performance
The Na Grani’s mass gives a smooth heat ramp, a forgiving flavour window, and fewer “spikes” after purges. The open airway keeps draw resistance low and makes recovery quick after heat adjustments.
Care & upkeep
- Let it cool, then rinse with warm water and a drop of mild detergent; wipe dry to prevent water spots.
- Avoid abrasives that can mar the steel; no harsh alkali cleaners.
Quick fixes
Issue | Solution |
---|---|
Harsh taste mid-session | Remove or edge one coal for 10–15 s; resume with coals spaced evenly. |
Thin clouds early | Ensure coals are fully lit; add a 3rd cube after 5–7 min. |
Bowl browns too fast | Reduce pack density; keep coals toward the rim; rotate more frequently. |

FAQ
- Does it fit my bowl? If your phunnel has a ~72–76 mm rim (most modern phunnels), it will seat well.
- Foil vs HMD? HMDs offer steadier, cleaner heat and less mess. See our simple HMD guide for when to add or move coals.
- Which coals? 26 mm cubes pair perfectly. See our curated charcoal selection.
