EAK1791 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Well...if you can help it, don't knock over your hookah But on a more serious note I'd say buy a cheap rug that you can put down underneath it, so that that would get burnt instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathrynx Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Pile up some foil around the bowl, make your own "wind cover". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1v3th3ad Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 when I smoke on road trips, I crinkle foil onto the ashtray so it is attached and make a wall of foil encapsulating the bowl and coals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 ^What these guys said about using foil to fab something up to prevent coals from falling. For an $11 hookah, it's probably got a tiny tray, which doesn't do jack for catching falling coals. Some hookahs have larger trays and are actually quite good at catching kamikaze coals.

DrSmokes Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I use to use my plastic computer mat to put under the table I would put my hookah on. But those look more expensive than a wind cover.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
â€On Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I usually just look at the coals and tell them "Don't even think about it, I will put you in the sink and extinguish your asses if you do. Do you know how easily replaceable you are? I have HUNDREDS of coals JUST LIKE YOU in the cupboard. What, you think I'm scared to light some new ones up? Test me, motherfucker. I double dog dare you." and they usually just stay in place. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grock Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Make a ghetto wind cover out of a large cut Arizona Ice tea can? Not sure... The ideas of making a foil lip sound pretty reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I remember reading somewhere (it might have been on here) that making a wind cover out of cans is bad, as the heat does something to the metal on the inside of the can and releases some gas or something. Hopefully, someone else can chime in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using the stainless steel Nour one 5star has up on their site for a while and it's awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] No. Maybe these pictures will help you see what we're talking about: [IMG]http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p40/INCUBUSRATM/Hookah/DSC00909.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p40/INCUBUSRATM/Hookah/DSC00910.jpg[/IMG] Made out of Reynolds HD foil, wrapped in a few layers, folded the edges in for support, and taped ON THE OUTSIDE once fitted to the bowl. Kinda mold the bottom to the bowl so it's secure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
