I just acquired a Peterson system pipe. Can I use the salt alcohol method to clean out pipe?? If not what else can I do to clean it?? Thanks

I really would avoid salt alcohol treatments. Trim the cake, scrub out the airway (stem and bowl)and system reservoir with Everclear-soaked pipe brushes, pipe cleaners, and Q-tips. That should solve most ills. I have heard too many smart folks tell me that the prolonged exposure to alcohol involved in salt-alcohol treatments harms the smoking properties of the briar.

Not disputing your claim Buroak but are you able to elaborate?

Jay.
