Ash Plates
Ash Plates for modern and traditional hookahs
An ash plate, also called a hookah ashtray, is, as the name suggests, used for handling coal and ashes. Originally, this was a simple, unadorned plate made of metal, on which glowing coals were put down. Today they are available in different colors, materials and designs: ashtrays can be made of stainless steel, anodised aluminum, but also glass. They are available as giant plates, in traditional gold and silver colors with oriental patterns, modern designed in bold colors or engraved.
They are helpful when it comes to avoiding heat and fire damage caused by falling embers.
Also coal pieces can be stored there to prevent soot from getting on the tablecloth.
You should be attentive, as soon as you build an ash plate directly above a molasses catcher or a smoke column made of glass. If you store coal on an ash plate for a longer session, it will be heated as well as the adapter in the smoke column. When heated, metals expand in a minimalistic manner, but in some cases this may already be sufficient to damage a glass smoke column or a molasses catcher.
An ash plate together with a pair of carbon tongs is one of the indispensable basic equipments of hookah smoking.
