Cosmo Meteora Turkish Bowl – 5-Hole, Heat-Stable Red Clay

Cosmo Turkish Meteora bowl — 5-hole red clay, ≈15 g for clean, even heat

What it is, why it helps, how it works, why get one: This is Cosmo’s classic 5-hole Turkish bowl, hand-thrown from dense red clay and fired hot for durability. The thick clay plate evens coal spikes so flavours stay smooth. Five floor holes keep airflow balanced, letting syrup evaporate steadily for dense, clean clouds. If you want a simple, reliable daily driver that runs perfectly on foil (and plays nicely with open-cap HMDs), this is the one to reach for.

Built for tidy ≈15 g packs, Meteora makes flavour swaps easy while delivering a full, unfiltered draw. It’s compact, predictable, and tuned for the sweet spot between quick weeknight bowls and longer dark-leaf sessions.

What sets it apart

• Stable flavour window from a thick red-clay bed managed with 2–3 × 26 mm cubes.
• Balanced pull via a precision 5-hole floor that ventilates the tobacco evenly.
• Efficient ≈15 g capacity — less waste, faster changes between flavours.
• Small-batch craft from Cosmo’s Russian workshop; subtle wheel marks make each piece unique.
• Versatile heat control: best on tight heavy-duty foil; also works with open-cap screens (Provost/Cocoyaya).

Fit & compatibility

• Foil setups with 2–3 × 26 mm coconut cubes — pair with Shaman 26 mm cubes or MIK 26 mm cubes.
• Heat caps: AOT Provost II or AOT Provost 3 sit neatly on the rim; Cocoyaya Cococrown also works.
• Lotus-style enclosed HMDs can fit the lip but may restrict draw — use at your discretion.
• Standard silicone base grommets; universal fit.

How to dial it in

• Pack: semi-fluff (blonde) or semi-dense (dark); keep ~2 mm headspace.
• Foil: 2 layers of heavy-duty, drum-tight; fine, even holes over the tobacco area. See our foil collection.
• Heat: start 2 × 26 mm cubes; add the 3rd after 5–7 min if clouds are thin.
• Management: rotate every 6–8 min; edge coals to cool, centre to ramp heat.

Craft & performance

Dense, vitrified red clay and a compact cavity produce a smooth, gradual heat curve. The 5-hole layout keeps the bed well-ventilated for fuller flavour and easier purges without flooding when your foil is tight.

Care & upkeep

• Let the bowl cool naturally before rinsing; avoid thermal shock.
• Rinse with warm water only; no soaps. Air-dry fully.
• Tap ash out on a soft mat — never on hard surfaces.
