I don't do anything to it, whatever happens over time happens. Over time, it generally chars and fills in on each side.
Exactly. The reason it’s there is because the bottom is just soft ass cob. You don’t want to remove it or burn it away. It should turn black and form cake on/around it just as you describe.

those who are burning it off: I’d hate to see the walls of your other pipes!!

Excuse the drawing, which my 6 year old son would have done better. I do this, 10 minutes with the Dremel.

Smoke it hot and dirty, it’ll even out pretty quick. On a side note we recently had a prolonged discussion on the merits of having mesh balls. It devolved quickly lol.
