Mockingbird Chimney Screen for Brohood-Type Heat Systems
The Mockingbird chimney screen is the core element of a “chimney” or “Brohood” type heat management system. Designed to hold natural charcoal on a metal mesh, it transfers heat by conduction and convection to the bowl underneath, ensuring powerful and consistent heating of your shisha or herbal mix.
A Standalone Heating System, Compatible with Many Bowls
Sold separately, this chimney screen is made to pair with various shisha bowls — such as traditional Turkish clay bowls or glass models like Nero — allowing you to customize your setup. It follows the same principle as the chimney sets used on many hookahs with metal heat systems, while giving you full freedom to choose your preferred bowl style.
How the Mockingbird Chimney Screen Works
The concept is simple: place your natural charcoal cubes on the metal grid — no foil needed — and the heat spreads through the top and into the bowl, heating the shisha tobacco without direct contact with the coals. This chimney-style system enhances intensity and throat hit, ideal for those who enjoy strong, traditional sessions with thick clouds and bold flavours.
Best Bowls and Session Types
The Mockingbird chimney screen is ideally suited for classic or Turkish bowls, but also works with certain glass bowls like the Nero, as long as the diameter and height match. It’s perfect for fans of natural charcoal looking for direct, dynamic heat with generous smoke output — combining the feel of tradition with the convenience of a modern design.
Easy Maintenance and Practical Use
Made from heat-resistant metal, this screen can be reused many times. After each session, simply let it cool down, remove ashes, then rinse or brush off any residue. Its compact size fits most compatible bowls and offers a cleaner, faster, and more stable alternative to traditional foil when preparing your shisha head.

Expert Tip for Optimal Heating
For best results, pack your bowl loosely and start with two to three fully lit natural charcoal cubes, adjusting heat as needed. On Turkish bowls, move the coals slightly during the session for even heat. On glass bowls, watch the temperature build-up for a smooth draw full of flavour, without overheating your tobacco.
