    Kaywoodie Help Needed

    I used your heat method advice to get it removed.

    It‘s definitely “welded” in.

    Kaywoodie Help Needed

    I finally got around to addressing this Kaywoodie issue. Using the heat gun and gently turning the tenon I got it out. As you can see the stinger appears “welded” in the tenon from old tar. It’s currently soaking in an alcohol bath. Hopefully that will soften the gunk so I can separate the two.

    I thank you for your help. Whether it’s good, bad, or ugly I’ll post a follow up on what happens. Any chance you might post a photo of that old Kaywoodie heater?

    I believe you are correct. I’m going to go the Everclear soak route first and if that doesn’t work then the freezer route. It does look as if someone may have used twine to tighten it up.

    I’m hoping mine will be a great smoker too.

    Okay I found a restore on the rebornpipes site and it appears this is how it should look.

    I found these photos on this forum by someone who had the same problem. I pm’d him but no reply as of yet.

    Thank you Yeah I didn’t show a photo of inside the bowl. You could barely stick a pinky in the bowl with all the cake buildup.

    Thank you gentlemen! This is the first Kaywoodie I’ve ever come across and I was thinking that threaded part should be permanent in the stem.

    Do you know if that is the normal setup for a Kaywoodie? There’s not a “stinger” on the part stuck in the shank?

    Kaywoodie Help Needed

    I picked up this well smoked old Kaywoodie Standard at an antique shop. As you can see it seems to have a stem issue. Any suggestions on repairing this problem? Thank you
