Insulating qualities of bowl material
Not near as important as the smoker's handling of the tobacco and smoking technique. Briar, meer and cobs have all proven their worth as smoking pipes. Why not just learn to load a proper blend and smoke? No need to over-think a relatively simple process, load, light and go. Hard to improve...- warren

Cooking Bacon
I want to taste the grass when I eat beef. So....not controversial at all. Not a fan of finishing with grain and I can thoroughly enjoy, when I can find it, beef from an older steer. I'm a fan of A-1 but, only on the side to dip an occasional bite into. Everyone to their own taste. A...- warren

Cooking Bacon
I've had rashers in Canada, England and the Irish Republic. It's all in what you order. "Back" bacon or rashers, there's usually a choice especially in tourists center. American bacon is the smokiest but, English bacon is smoked a bit. Canadian bacon is strictly "back" bacon and never smoked.- warren

Do the research. Then, go live there for a bit if you can afford to. Dip into your savings if necessary. Hopefully you do save a bit every month. No point in moving somewhere blind.- warren
