Clogged Peterson Stem

[tmcg81]

I've got a Peterson Christmas 2019 pipe that I adore. It's shape 999, the Rhodesian. I smoked it about once a week for a few months, kept it clean as best as I could, and somehow it still got clogged right at the bend in the stem. Any way to fix it on my own? I tried a remedy suggested to me on Reddit and it did less than nothing. I loved smoking this pipe, and would love to smoke it again. Thanks!

Clear and precise video. A very nice solution.

Now George, if you had a video about clearing a clogged pipe that would be great. Have a Pete 20s where the clog is in the pipe itself somewhere and I've tried all my usual tricks-pipe cleaners, shank brush with and without soaking the inner bowl with hot water or alcohol-to no avail. Even tried a drill bit. Thanks.

Something's wrong with this picture.

The stummel's airway was created with a drill bit.

Unless some sort of material that isn't easily cut by a drill bit---stone, hardened metal, etc--- found its way into the airway (?!) and is jammed there (???!!!), cutting through the crud shouldn't be a problem.

Hot water and an air compressor worked when the draw got restricted on one of my stems from pipe cleaner fuzz build up when i first started.
