DON Traditional Turkish – Six-Hole Clay Bowl for Kaloud & Foil

DON Turkish bowl — milk-fired white clay, six-hole airflow for smooth, stable flavour

What it is, why it helps, how it works: This is DON’s classic Turkish multi-hole bowl, thrown from dense white clay and milk-fired for extra heat stability. You spread 15–25 g across the flat bed; the six holes draw evenly under foil or a Kaloud-style HMD, so heat rises uniformly and flavours stay clean without harsh spikes. If you enjoy long, balanced sessions with clear taste, this is the reliable, low-maintenance head that just works.

Handmade for dependable heat control, the thick clay walls warm gently and hold temperature without rushing delicate blends. Run it with foil or drop on a Kaloud-style HMD to suit your preference—either way you’ll get steady heat and easy, consistent pulls. Explore more DON pieces in our DON collection, pair it with a proven HMD from our Heat Management range, and keep your sessions tidy with premium coals from Charcoal.

What sets it apart

• Smoother heat curve because the milk-fired white clay and thicker walls retain and release heat gradually.
• Clean, open draw from a six-hole bed that spreads airflow evenly across the pack.
• Versatile setup with reliable performance under foil or a Kaloud-style HMD—no learning curve.
• Session flexibility with a 15–25 g capacity that suits classic and lighter mixes.
• Durable craft thanks to the milk-firing finish that helps resist micro-cracking when treated properly.

Fit & compatibility

• Works with Kaloud-style HMDs or traditional foil.
• Approx. tobacco load: 15–25 g (adjust for strength and cut).

How to dial it in

• Pack level and even; leave a light gap to the foil/HMD to avoid scorching.
• Start with moderate heat; let the clay warm through, then step up gradually.
• Rotate or space coals periodically to keep the heat bed even.

Craft & performance

• Heat behaviour: stable, forgiving clay bed that’s hard to overrun.
• Flavour window: keeps blends clear and rounded for longer-than-average sessions.
• Airway response: classic Turkish pull—balanced resistance with steady smoke density.

Care & upkeep

• Allow to cool naturally; rinse with warm water only.
• Avoid thermal shock (don’t rinse hot clay under cold water).
• Air-dry fully; never knock ash out on hard surfaces.

Quick fixes

• Harsh taste → reduce heat, crack the HMD lid briefly, or lift foil height.
• Thin clouds → ensure coals are fully lit and evenly spaced; check for air leaks.
• Fast browning → lighten your pack and increase airflow across the surface.
