KM Small Egyptian 5-Hole Clay Bowl — 6 g quick sessions

Khalil Mamoon Egyptian clay bowl — 6 g load, 5-hole floor for quick, flavour-true sessions

What it is, why it helps, how it works, why you want it: This is KM’s classic small Egyptian bowl, hand-thrown in Cairo from red clay and glazed for durability. The shallow cavity holds about 6 g—perfect for solo smokes and flavour testing—while the traditional five-hole floor spreads heat evenly under foil. It sits directly on any KM stem via the standard male spigot. Use it foil-only (or with a Provost-style screen) for rapid heat-up, low coal use and clean, authentic Egyptian flavour.

What sets it apart

• Flavour clarity from a traditional 5-hole floor that evens out heat across the pack.
• Gentle, steady warmth thanks to thicker clay walls that buffer heat swings.
• Short, satisfying smokes with a ~6 g shallow load—ideal for quick changes and testing.
• Drop-on certainty via the KM male spigot (~22 mm) that fits all Khalil Mamoon stems.
• Foil-only rim geometry—too narrow for Lotus-type HMDs—so you save coals and weight.

Fit & compatibility

• Best with blonde-leaf mixes; dark-leaf is possible with careful heat.
• Foil only or a Provost-style heat screen; not compatible with Lotus/lotus-style HMDs.
• Seats natively on Khalil Mamoon stems; fits most Egyptian-pattern male bowl ports.

How to dial it in

• Fluff-pack to the rim (~6 g), pull foil tight and start 2 large flats or 3 small cubes.
• After 5 minutes, vent the foil to prevent scorching; rotate coals every 6–8 minutes.
• Using a heat screen? Place it over tight foil and control heat with the lid/vents.

Craft & performance

• Handmade Egyptian red clay with a gloss glaze for easier cleaning and reduced ghosting.
• Predictable heat curve for flavour-forward pulls and efficient coal usage.

Care & upkeep

• Let it cool before rinsing; hand-wash with warm water and a soft brush.
• Avoid harsh detergents or dishwashers that may dull the glaze.
• For de-ghosting, scrub with lemon & baking soda; dry fully.

FAQ

• Can I use dark-leaf? Yes, but the capacity is small—keep heat gentle for shorter, punchy sessions.
• Why no Lotus fit? The rim is narrower than Lotus-style bases; run foil or a Provost-type screen instead.
• Will it ghost flavours? Rinse warm and dry fully after use; deep-clean monthly with lemon & baking soda.
