I've been trying my hand at some ODF flake again, folding and stuffing it in a bowl that fits it nicely.
I've noticed that after I light it, the whole top looks nice and even and I smoke on it for a while. After some time, it goes out and I try relighting and it goes out again fairly quickly. I scrape off the ash just to give it some air, then notice that it burned more like a bullseye and conical, starting wider at the top, then narrowing as it burns down. Then I dump the middle ash, scrape the sides and relight and it works great again.
Is there something I should do differently, or does it just burn the way it burns and you just have to dump ash, scrape and relight? Just curious.
