Apple On Top Provost 3 Heat Controller

The Provost 3 is Apple On Top’s most refined heat controller yet — a stainless steel screen-and-lid system that sits over foil to stabilise coal temperature and lock out wind. The redesigned venting and included CenteRings make it compatible with virtually any bowl on the market. If you want precise, repeatable heat without the guesswork, this is the tool.

AOT Provost 3 Stainless Steel Shisha Heat Controller

Why This Heat Controller

• Redesigned venting system with adjustable lid allows fine-grained heat control — open for lighter sessions, closed for dense clouds.
• Two CenteRings included (large ~89 mm, small ~71 mm diameter) so it fits securely on everything from compact phunnels to wide Turkish bowls.
• Stainless steel tray and lid withstand repeated direct-coal contact without warping or discolouration over time.
• Integrated wind guard around the tray keeps coals burning evenly in outdoor and breezy conditions.
• Silicone grip on the lid stays cool enough to adjust mid-session without tongs or gloves.
• Holds 3–4 standard 26 mm cube coals, providing ample heat for extended sessions of 60–90 minutes.

Fit & Compatibility

Works with any bowl when paired with foil. The CenteRings adapt it to phunnel, Turkish, and traditional bowls alike. Especially effective with the Oblako Phunnel S for flavour-forward sessions.

How to Use It

• Pack your bowl and cover tightly with heavy-duty aluminium foil.
• Poke small, evenly spaced holes across the foil surface.
• Choose the CenteRing that matches your bowl’s outer rim and place it on the foil.
• Set the Provost 3 tray inside the ring, then add 3–4 fully lit natural coconut coals.
• Close or partially open the lid to dial in your preferred heat level.
• Adjust the lid throughout your session as coals diminish.

Care & Maintenance

• Let the unit cool completely before cleaning.
• Soak in warm water to loosen ash and residue, then scrub gently with a soft brush.
• Rinse and dry thoroughly before storage.

In the Box

• 1x Provost 3 Heat Controller
• 1x Ventilated Lid with Silicone Handle
• 2x CenteRings (Large & Small)

Do I still need foil with the Provost 3?

Yes. The Provost is designed to sit on top of foil — it regulates and stabilises the heat your coals deliver through the foil. It is not a foil replacement like a drop-on HMD.

Will it fit my bowl?

With two CenteRing sizes included, the Provost 3 fits the vast majority of bowls from compact phunnels (~71 mm rim) to wide traditional bowls (~89 mm rim).
