Apple On Top Provost 3 – 3×26 mm Heat Screen, 304 Stainless

Apple On Top stainless heat screen — 3×26 mm capacity for steadier, cleaner flavour

What: A stainless heat management device used with foil. It sits on a tightly foiled bowl to spread heat evenly and shield coals from wind.
Why: It levels out temperature, cuts ash fall and flare-ups, and gives tool-free airflow control—so you taste the blend, not the coal.
How: Pack your bowl, wrap with heavy-duty foil, place three fully lit 26 mm cubes inside the Provost 3, set it on the foil, then fine-tune with the adjustable vents.

We’ve tuned heat the simple way with Apple On Top’s Provost 3. Built from 304 stainless with cool-touch silicone tabs and a wind-managed lid, it stabilises heat so flavour stays bright from first pull to last. Designed to run over foil, it comfortably carries 3 × 26 mm coconut cubes and ships with universal CenteRing adaptors for common bowl sizes. Pair it with quality foil or explore more HMDs via our Foil & HMD collection.

What sets it apart

• Smoother draws with even airflow and an integrated wind-guard lid that keeps coals active outdoors.
• Real capacity control — holds 3 × 26 mm cubes to drive denser clouds without harsh spikes.
• Finger-safe tweaks via high-temp silicone tabs for quick vent changes mid-session.
• Cleaner flavour path as the screen reduces ash fall and hot spots over foil.
• Fit certainty — supplied 71–89 mm stainless CenteRings seat neatly on most phunnel or Egyptian rims.

Fit & compatibility

• Apple On Top bowls (large & small) with the supplied CenteRings.
• Most phunnel or Egyptian bowls with 71–89 mm rim diameter.
• Natural coconut coals; optimised for 26 mm cubes (use three). Stock up on cubes: Shaman 26 mm coconut charcoal.

How to dial it in

• Start with two vents closed; open gradually to increase density or to push darker, glycerin-heavy blends.
• For smaller bowls, snap in a CenteRing to tighten the seal and curb heat loss.
• Ash-tap coals every 10–12 minutes to keep airflow clear and flavour bright.

Craft & performance

• 304 stainless steel body resists warping and corrosion for repeatable heat over time.
• Food-safe silicone tabs stay cool enough for quick vent and lid adjustments.
• Wind-managed lid sustains coal activity while preventing scorching.

Care & upkeep

• Let it cool, then rinse with warm water and mild, unscented soap.
• Avoid abrasives to preserve the mirror finish; dry thoroughly to prevent water spots.
