Hi, great advice from others. I'll add that chimneys are difficult to master, and your reply below that the raw chamber is only thinly coated will exacerbate the difficulties.
Tried a couple aromatics in a chimney pipe. Just could not keep it lit. I switched to a different bowl type (upon recommendation of the nice folks here in the forum) and now I'm off to the races! It was a big difference for me.
Chimneys were difficult for me, too. Never had one that I didn't toss. Try a medium pot or billiard. Or the aforementioned cob, along with the advice already posted.
