Description
What wind does to an open ashtray
Empties it across the balcony. Anyone who smokes outdoors knows the pattern: a grey film on the floor, on the furniture, and blown back inside through the door. A lid stops it, which is the entire reason this design exists.
The second benefit
Odour. A closed ashtray holds the smell of cold ash instead of releasing it, which makes a real difference on a small balcony or a shaded terrace where air does not move much.
Using it
Stub out, close the lid. A closed lid also starves any smouldering butt of oxygen, which is a genuine safety benefit outdoors where a breeze can reignite things.
Emptying and cleaning
Wait until everything is cold. Empty it, wipe or wash the inside, and dry it — an outdoor ashtray left with damp ash in it becomes considerably more unpleasant than a dry one.
In UAE conditions
Direct sun and heat accelerate the smell of old ash. Emptying it more often outdoors than you would indoors is worth the habit.
Indoor alternative
The Steel Table Ashtray, which is open and easier to use at a table.
Frequently asked questions
How does the lid help?
It stops wind blowing ash across a balcony and holds the smell of cold ash in.
Does it put cigarettes out?
Closing the lid starves a smouldering butt of oxygen, which also reduces the reignition risk outdoors.
How often should I empty it?
More often than an indoor ashtray. Heat and sun make old ash smell faster.
Can I wash it?
Yes, once everything is cold. Dry it afterwards — damp ash is far worse than dry.
Is there an indoor version?
The Steel Table Ashtray is open and better suited to indoor tables.
