Frequently asked questions about stainless steel smokeboxes

Does every smokebox fit every head?
Most HMDs are designed for standard phunnel heads (approx. 6-7 cm in diameter). Check compatibility with your head before purchasing.

Stainless steel or aluminum – which is better?
Stainless steel lasts longer, retains heat better and has a neutral taste. Aluminum heats up faster, but also cools down faster. Stainless steel is worth it for regular smokers.

How do I clean my HMD?
After cooling, simply clean with warm water and a steel brush. If it is very dirty, soak it in water with citric acid overnight.
