It acts like a vaporizer in that it heats (steams) your weed to activate the cannabis compounds versus burning them through combustion with a flame.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The steam chalice uses no electricity and only organic components. It plays a central role in Jamaican\/Rastafarian culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rastafari <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/topic\/Rastafari\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">is a religious movement of Jamaican origin<\/a> holding that Black people are the chosen people, that Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia was the Messiah, and that Black people will eventually return to their African roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rastafarians follow strict codes of ethics and conduct that include wearing dreadlocks, smoking cannabis, rejecting Western medicine, and adhering to a diet that excludes pork, shellfish, and milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"how-to-make-a-steam-chalice\">\n\tHow to make a steam chalice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A steam chalice's four main components are the base (coconut), stem (bamboo tube), cutchie (bowl), and gritty (bowl screen).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You'll need a few other materials or tools to use the steam chalice.

Be careful not to break the coconut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-3-insert-the-cutchie-and-downstem-into-the-holes\"><strong>Step 3: Insert the cutchie and downstem into the holes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You'll need to buy a cutchie, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/market\/cutchie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">which can be found on Etsy<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have a hole for the cutchie, add it to the coconut. You can seal it with beeswax to make it permanent or leave it a bit loose to remove the cutchie and clean it after each use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you've inserted the cutchie, do the same with the bamboo downstem or plastic hose.

It's your world, squirrel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that you don't have to fill it completely and can use a little herb for a quick and easy sesh. Add non-cannabis herbs to boost flavor and experience; orange peels, rosemary, and rose petals are great steamable additives.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remove the cutchie from your chalice to insert herbs unless it's permanently connected to the base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-3-add-coals-on-top-of-the-herb\"><strong>Step 3: Add coals on top of the herb<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Add unheated coals at the top of your herbs, then take your small torch and hit the coals until they're burning red hot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also hold the coals with clamps and use the torch to heat them (like a hookah). Torch them in a circular motion to distribute the heat evenly, then blow on the coals to get them up to temperature. Avoid hitting the sides of your cutchie with direct flame as you don't want to crack it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the coals are cooking, insert the cutchie back into the chalice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-5-inhale\"><strong>Step 5: Inhale&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Inhale the vapor from the bamboo mouthpiece\/hose.
