Thanks.Yeah, most computer stores sell them in singles or packs of two.They're only about $1 each and come in sizes ranging from 30mm to 120mm. The one pictured is 80mm, but I have a 60mm one that I sometimes place on top of the 80mm one to raise the coals off the shisha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to say I'd be willing to kill you all to make a pretty penny...The fact of the matter is, it's pretty hard to go into a hardware store and come out with something tailored to fit the bowl. The last place anyone would look would be a computer store. Having a lot of these laying around, I thought everyone was aware of them. Not so, I guess.Oddly enough, the grills are spaced perfectly to rest on any size bowl. They're dirt cheap and virtually accessible to everyone.I like to believe handy pieces of information never get tiresome if they actually help people, but forgive me if it seems repetitive.
