MrMoodz Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 To all of you who have experience with or own a KM Chiller/Ice Chamber hookah... How would one work with a windcover? When the ice chamber is filled, would that turn the windcover cold and in doing so would effect the coals and overall heat management? Thoughts? Opinions? Insight?

modisess Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 hmm was curious about this as well.. also if ice is used in the bucket, would they condense and get the ashtray wet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinite Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 The ash tray fits over the ice bucket, and doesn't get noticeably cold. I have the KM Chiller and am able to use a wind cover. The only problem is that the stem + Tangiers bowl is too tall for most wind covers, so I prop my wind cover up on some BBQ tongs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inino Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 the tray will be too warm to get wet, at least on my ice chamber hookah. you shouldnt have a problem with the wind cover either. i get condensation all over the actual ice chamber but none on the tray.

Hippo_Master Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 The coals keep the cover cold, but the bottom of the cover is a bit lukewarm. I have used it before many times on a Mash'al. This was the long windcover, and basically any windcover you use has to be long or modded anyway so you will always have a warm windcover on top.

MrMoodz Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 Thanks for the posts. The KM Chiller style is growing popular in Phoenix and I know one store in particular that has a good supply of them. It might be my Christmas present to myself... My next question is do you notice a difference when having the ice chamber filled with ice? Or does it not really effect the smoke density or flavor?

inino Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 ya, not very much of a difference. i would fill mine up with water and freeze the whole thing solid though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, it does help a little bit.Putting ice in the base makes more of a difference than using the Ice Chamber? This is interesting. I really haven't been using ice in the base since I started smoking Tangiers, but maybe for the other brands I will start trying it again... Maybe I don't necessarily need an Ice Chamber hookah after all and I could save my money for the next wave of hookahs to hit the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
