Dugouts: The Ultimate All-In-One Smoking Companion
By Johnny McMurranIf you enjoy smoking flowers but hate the hassle of carrying around multiple tools, constantly misplacing your lighter, or fumbling for your pipe, let us introduce you to your new best friend—the dugout. Sleek, compact, and ultra-convenient, dugouts are the unsung heroes of the smoking world, combining form, function, and portability in one simple gadget.
Whether you’re an on-the-go smoker or just someone who values keeping things tidy, a dugout might just be the upgrade your smoke sesh has been missing.
What is a Dugout?
A dugout is a small, pocket-sized smoking accessory designed to simplify enjoying flowers. Typically rectangular and crafted from materials like wood, aluminum, or silicone, a dugout contains two primary compartments: one for a one-hitter pipe and another for ground flower. Some advanced models also include extra compartments for lighters, cleaning tools, or even built-in grinders.
The main appeal? It’s an all-in-one solution. Instead of carrying a pouch of herb, a pipe, a lighter, and a tool for cleaning—all separately—you can consolidate everything into a single, sleek container.
Why Smokers Love Dugouts
Dugouts are a fan-favorite for a reason. Here's why more and more people are opting to toss one in their pocket or bag:
- Discreet and Portable: Dugouts are small and subtle, designed to blend in. Whether you're hiking, commuting, or chilling at a friend's house, they keep your gear low-profile.
- Convenient: Everything you need for a quick hit is in one spot—no more forgetting a lighter or searching for a pipe.
- Conservation-Friendly: One-hitters encourage smaller doses, helping you stretch your stash and avoid waste.
- Organized: Say goodbye to broken glass pieces or herb crumbs in your pocket. Dugouts keep everything clean and in place.
Parts of a Dugout
Not all dugouts are created equal. Depending on the brand and design, a dugout may have a few extra bells and whistles. Here's a breakdown of what to expect:
🔹 Pipe Chamber
This section holds the one-hitter—a small, narrow pipe that lets you puff quickly with minimal odor or smoke. Many dugouts have spring-loaded pipe chambers, making accessing your piece easily with a simple press.
🔹 Herb Chamber
Fill this chamber with your favorite strain, ground and ready to go. The capacity depends on the size of the dugout, but most hold enough for several one-hitter bowls.
🔹 Poker Tool
Ash getting clogged in your one-hitter? Many dugouts include a slim poker or cleaning tool for clearing resin and debris after each hit.
🔹 Additional Storage
Some deluxe models have compartments for filters, a mini grinder, or a small storage container for extra herbs or concentrates.
🔹 Lighter Slot
Have you ever been ready to blaze only to realize you forgot a lighter? Some dugouts solve that with a built-in lighter holder—talk about complete convenience.
Dugout Materials: What’s Best?
The material matters when shopping for a dugout. It affects not only the look and feel of the product but also its functionality and durability.
- Wood Dugouts: Timeless, natural, and lightweight. They’re often beautifully handcrafted and help keep your herb fresh by absorbing moisture.
- Aluminum Dugouts: These are modern and tough. Aluminum models are durable and often have sleek finishes, but some smokers notice a slight taste when using metal pipes.
- Silicone Dugouts: Silicone dugouts are perfect for clumsy hands. They are flexible, durable, and sometimes even dishwasher-safe—great for festival-goers or outdoor use.
Choosing the Right Dugout for You
Your ideal dugout depends on your smoking habits and personal style. Here are some tips to help you find the right fit:
- Size Matters: A small, compact dugout might be perfect if you only smoke occasionally. If you're a heavier smoker or planning a longer outing, go for one with a larger herb chamber.
- Feature-Packed vs. Minimalist: Want just the basics? Go simple with a two-chamber setup. Prefer a one-stop smoke station? Look for dugouts with built-in grinders, storage compartments, or lighters.
- Aesthetic and Style: Dugouts come in a wide variety of designs, from sleek anodized aluminum to rustic carved wood. Pick one that complements your look.
