Abstract
A capsule apparatus for smoking the smoking material with a smoking implement such as a hookah includes a basket which holds smoking material in a bowl of a hookah. The capsule apparatus has malleable components for securing the basket to the bowl and forming a seal between the basket and the bowl. Rigid components are also provided for holding a heating element such as charcoal near but spaced from the smoking material. A liner is claimed which prevents the smoking material from sticking to a plate which holds the heating element.
