How to properly relight

[Chasing Embers]

Face the wind, cup hand over the front of bowl, and suck the flame down into the bowl.

 

[workman]

Zippo

 

[Chasing Embers]

Well, that too.

 

[bnichols23]

Zippo = gazoline. [sic] Petrol bad, butane good.

 

[Olkofri]

Well, Frank (the guy from the **cough, cough** Frank Method) uses a triple jet torch lighter. 8O

 

[Chasing Embers]

And Frank's pipe afterwards.

 

[workman]

A Zippo won't scorch your rim unless you want it to. A butane lighter will. Remember, we're outside in the wind.

 

[Chasing Embers]

I use a Bic outside most of the time.

 

[workman]

I can't. Air keeps moving here.

 

[Chasing Embers]

I just cup my hand around 3/4 of the bowl, and light facing the wind.

 

[workman]

It's not wind if you can do that with a bic. At least not here.

 

[aldecaker]

Wyoming wind sock?

 

[Chasing Embers]

Maybe I've just been smoking too long. :mrgreen:

 

[workman]

Nah. You just haven't tried it here:

 

[aldecaker]

Damn, Workman. How do you stand the crowds?

 

[workman]

All these fucking sunbathers.

 

[aldecaker]

:rofl:

 

[Chasing Embers]

Nah. You just haven't tried it here:

Okay, catlinite pipe and a welding torch?

 

[workman]

What's catlinite? Something I need?

"Zippo won't scorch your rim unless" -- Ain't that, it's lighting my pipe with charcoal starter. Tastes like crap. And, yeah, I know people say just let it burn off for a few seconds. It still tastes like gas.
