    Devil Anse Pipes?

    Yeah it’s a miniseries called hatfields and mccoys. Costner played Devil Anse Hatfield, and smoked a pipe like that shape, and it got the name from there, though Peterson had a shape exactly like it in a 1906 catalogue and called it a jap shape. — the miniseries is rentable on YouTube, and...

    Is This a Crack?

    So just take some ash from the next smoke and mix it with my spit and pack it into that little area then let it dry? How long? 24–48?

    Is This a Crack?

    I guess I’ll just keep smoking this and hope it doesn’t burn out. Sigh

    Is This a Crack?

    But mine isn’t visible on the outside of the bowl

    Is This a Crack?

    I was really hoping it would just be the bowl coat. Sigh

    Is This a Crack?

    So definitely not just splitting bowl coat?

    Is This a Crack?

    I posted this in the main forum too but as I’m still kind of new I didn’t know whether or not it should go in here. Sable told me it looked like a crack, but my AI is swearing it’s just bowl coat splitting. It’s a 2021 POTY with probably 5 smokes in it, less than 10 to be certain. If it is a...

    Is This a Crack?

    Please tell me this isn’t a crack, and it’s just bowl coat…it’s a 2021 POTY that’s been smoked max 4 times….

    How Hard is it to Burnout a Pipe?

    That’s a good metaphor. You’ve actually convinced me

    When Building Cake

    Thanks. I do tend to overthink things. I’ll focus on not making sure it’s white glove clean

    When Building Cake

    Thank you. So you don’t really wipe until it’s coming out completely clean?

    When Building Cake

    So to clarify, I smoke, I dump the ash, then I take a paper towel wrapped around my finger to the inside of the bowl, and I wipe the bowl until the paper towel comes out clean. Is that the approach?

    Wipe it out until the paper towel comes out clean?

    When Building Cake

    I’m glad I’ve got your recognition on that. A lot of people tell me it’s cake starting but I’m glad you recognize it. That eases my mind

    Awesome this helps a lot, attached more photos of various pipes under your last post also.
  17. Piperjd

    When Building Cake

    Yes, in almost every pipe I have. That was a Peterson, so I’m sure it had a coat, I’ll dig out some old kaywoodies and show you as well (photos attached) bear in mind I was always so scared of burning these things out that I swapped around a lot and I think I’d say I don’t have a pipe with more...

    When Building Cake

    Can you look above. Is that the lighter color layer I’m seeing at the bottom of the bowl? My cleaning routine has always been smoke, dump, wipe out with a paper towel until it comes out essentially clean, cleaner down the stem and move on.
  19. Piperjd

    When Building Cake

    Well I guess my question is, is that the lighter color I’m seeing develop in my bowls? (Photo attached) and if so, how long does it normally take for that to extend enough to keep the bowl safe?

    When Building Cake

    Someone told me it would take like 100 bowls to get a good cake doing it that way, is that exaggeration?
