The Miracle of Briar
Do you have a link to your sources? I'm pretty sure there's an error in them, or an error in intepretation, because going by those numbers burnout should simply not be possible no matter how hard you puff or how bad the briar is. The numbers you want to compare are the temperature tobacco...- mparker762

Reverse Calabash
Any recommendations for a reverse calabash pipe? i've got several gourd calabashes and pete's, and I've got coloring bowls for my meers which turns them effectively in to a calabash configuration, but I don't have a pipe that is designed and marketed as a "reverse calabash". Who makes the best...- mparker762

Reverse Calabash
Somehow the heat has to go somewhere besides up the stem, which is the physics problem I am trying to wrap my head around. I know how the system pipes and the regular gourd calabashes do it (they both precipitate the steam, removing the heat in the water from the smoke) but I don't see the...- mparker762

Reverse Calabash
There are three ways to move thermal energy: conduction, convection, and radiation. Peterson System pipes use the ideal gas law to precipitate the steam to a liquid then the heat transfers to the briar via conduction. How do gourd calabashes and reverse calabashes do this? "Circulate" just...- mparker762

So what's the reason "reverse calabash" pipes have it, and what is the reason Peterson system pipes have it?- mparker762

Reverse Calabash
It doesn't matter how dry the tobacco is when you put it in the bowl. Once you step outside the ambient humidity promptly takes the moisture levels in the bowl right back up, if it hasn't rehumidified by the time you get it lit it will once you start puffing. It's not like that all the time...- mparker762

Reverse Calabash
The only system pipe of mine that has even an occasional gurgle is my system spigot, but that's missing 2/3rds of the actual system and the internal geometry sends the stream of condensing steam straight at the intake. I'm sure it's possible to make a normal system pipe gurgle but I have yet to...- mparker762

Reverse Calabash
What system gurgle? On a Peterson at least the moisture precipitates into a well that is quite a distance from the end of the chimney. I once smoked three bowls in one of my system pipes just to see how far I could push it, with nary a gurgle. Emptying the ashes without inverting the pipe was...- mparker762
