Bowl 18 was this morning (terrible weather and two days off) , and Boy was it already over due for a water flush! Phew was it bad. Not physically dirty, just taste. Boy did bowl 18 taste bad.

Immedietly after the flush, I ran two pipe cleaners down the stem. Then folded them and cleaned the bowl lightly. After determining that the interiors were dry, I could hear a bubbling sound. Almost like sizzling bacon. I could hear what I think was excess water traveling through the lattice.

Bowl 19 was in spent with Carter Hall, half in the garage and half on the porch in -17 F windchill. But boy did it smoke so much better after its bath! It's like magic I tell ya!

Mine haven't had an off taste either and all I'm doing is blowing any moisture into the chamber after dumping the ash. Washing them flushes away what they need to color.

This thread got me thinking, I'm looking for a larger meer with a nice lattice call it @hoosierpipeguy envy, I had to go weigh one of my small meers that came in at 1.2 oz ... so i know when i look at the pipes online to stay away from anything that lite. lol
Yes, and it's taken me over ten years, but now I know exactly what I prefer in weight. I bought probably 20 pipes without even looking at weight. Crazy thinking about it now.
