This starter pack includes everything you need to convert your hookah to natural charcoal: a Beskar Pilot chimney, a luxury Japanese bowl, a charcoal lighter, and one kilogram of powerful Lokomotiv K27 charcoals.
Is your shisha provided without a bowl or heating system, or do you simply want to convert your shisha to natural charcoal? The starter pack chimney is made for you!
The Starter Pack Chimney is a collection of the best shisha products designed for natural charcoal smokers. This pack includes a high-quality Japanese bowl, a premium Beskar PILOT chimney, a compact charcoal lighter, and one kilogram of Lokomotiv K27 natural charcoal.
With this promotional pack, you’ll be sure to get thick smoke and a perfect setup between each product! This pack is compatible with most shishas.
Many shisha brands equip their shishas with a chimney-type system (AMY deluxe, Aladin, Kaya, Crystalia...) making this heating method the most popular in Germany and Spain. However, there are different quality types of chimneys, and those typically provided with shishas are generally quite basic in construction.
The Beskar Pilot Colour is a chimney made in Turkey (the home country of fully stainless steel chimney-type systems). The Beskar Pilot Colour consists of three parts:
1/ A long-skirted cap for a perfect fit with the most appreciated chimney bowls by shisha smokers (Nero Glassbowl, Katuro Naka, Foyer terre-cuite...)
2/ A double-layer steel charcoal basket, resistant to corrosion and wear, allowing minimal charcoal dust while perfectly conducting heat.
3/ A chimney tube screwed to the cap that allows excess heat to escape and regulates the temperature of your shisha tobacco.
Thanks to its all-steel construction, the PILOT Colour is the strongest of the chimney systems and offers excellent heat conduction from your charcoals. The Beskar PILOT Colour provides a traditional cooking method for tobacco that highlights the strength of your tobacco while allowing for abundant, white, and dense smoke. The long skirt of the PILOT Colour cap provides the perfect distance between the charcoals and the top of your bowl, a detail that makes all the difference when preparing successfully!
For a classic use of the PILOT, you can prepare it using 3 natural charcoals K26. If you are an experienced preparer looking for ultimate heating, you can also opt for 3 cubes of Lokomotiv K27 charcoals.
The Beskar PILOT is also available in silver version!
To enjoy excellent flavor performance from your first use of the Pilot, Darnashop recommends performing a dry run before the first use. Simply place a few charcoals on the sieve of the Pilot (without putting tobacco in the bowl) and let it burn for 30 minutes to burn off any manufacturing residues and break in your system.
The artisanal bowl brand Katuro offers luxury shisha bowls suitable for all preparation styles and meets the expectations of all smoker profiles. With its NAKA bowl, Katuro presents a bowl specifically designed for smokers who use a Brohood heating chimney. The Katuro Naka bowl is compatible with all chimneys of similar dimensions to the Brohood, such as the Beskar Pilot chimneys, Colonial, Badcha, Dschinni Volkan...
The Katuro Naka features a wide bowl similar to that of traditional Turkish clay bowls commonly associated with the Brohood heating grill. This bowl for Brohood consumes about 18 grams of tobacco, offering a comfortable autonomy of up to 1h30 of session. The Naka provides significantly greater durability than a classic clay bowl, thanks to its dense clay and high-temperature firing. The inside of the bowl is glazed with one of Katuro's famous Zodiac glazes to waterproof it and produce tobacco cooking in both the upper and lower parts. In glazing the Naka bowl, Katuro's master potters had the excellent idea of leaving a band of raw clay on the outside of the bowl, so that your chimney does not slip and can grip onto the bowl.
The Katuro bowls are handcrafted through a completely artisanal process. Each bowl is unique, and the glazing of each piece is different. The chromatic blend and the distribution of glazes on the delivered bowls may differ from the illustrated visualization.
There are many devices for lighting natural charcoal. Most of them are typically kitchen appliances that have been repurposed for lighting charcoal without being specifically designed for this task in terms of standards or materials. Jakob Hansen is a brand specialized in manufacturing devices specifically for lighting natural charcoal for hookahs. Jakob Hansen produces high-quality charcoal starters.
The Jakob Hansen Mini Charcoal Starter #23 is the cheapest device from the brand. With a power of 500W, the mini charcoal starter is ideal for occasional use, as this plate measures only 14 cm on each side and offers a particularly compact size. The Jakob Hansen Mini Charcoal Starter #23 is a quick and easy way to light natural charcoal. The resistance of the mini charcoal starter heats up quickly, allowing you to enjoy your hookah as soon as possible.
The mini charcoal starter #23 is designed for lighting small batches of natural charcoal for hookah. It comes with a charcoal support grid, which allows you to fully utilize the device’s power while preserving the resistance. Choose the Jakob Hansen Mini Charcoal Starter if you need a small-sized plate or if you plan to take it on the go. However, note that the power of the mini charcoal starter is lower than that of the standard #9 Jakob Hansen plate, and it is designed for lighting smaller amounts of charcoal. When choosing your charcoal starter, you should consider whether you plan to use it frequently and how many pieces of charcoal you wish to light at a time.
Lokomotiv K27 Natural Charcoal is a large-sized charcoal that comes in the form of a 27mm cube. Like all charcoals from the Lokomotiv brand, it is made with superior quality coconut shell, allowing it to have the highest carbon content among the charcoals sold at Darnashop. It is the combination of these significant dimensions and its high carbon content (the charcoal component that determines heat output) that makes Lokomotiv K27 a cube that provides particularly intense and long-lasting heating.
K27 is manufactured in Indonesia according to very strict specifications that guarantee a natural charcoal without any additives. Each box of Lokomotiv K27 Natural Charcoal comes with a moisture-resistant bag and double packaging that ensures optimal protection. Its premium performance and power make it a charcoal intended for experienced shisha smokers.
Lokomotiv K27 is designed for shisha smokers looking for intense and long-lasting heating, especially those using heat transfer systems such as chimney bowls (Brohood, Beskar Pilot) or closed systems (Kaloud Lotus, Beskar Rebel...).
Lokomotiv K27 provides prolonged and consistent heating, allowing you to smoke for up to 1 hour without changing the charcoal, with high intensity.
Please note that using higher heat means more smoke, but it can also lead to flavor deterioration if an excessive amount of heat is applied to the tobacco. Therefore, it is important to ensure proper temperature control of the tobacco by using the right charcoal.
For standard heating, you can also find natural shisha charcoals Lokomotiv in a 26mm cube format with Lokomotiv K26 (available here)
