Probably there is one that has been posted in the past, but this is the first I remember, an out-and-out burn-a-hole burnout. At least it was a shop pipe with a few fills and not something expensive and treasured. Thanks for sharing. It can happen.
I'm sure some of you guys are into making your own ammo.
Little bit of this, little bit of that, a sip of bourbon, hey, let's pack a bowl, BOOM!!!

only had that happen with my crapiest pipe. It wasn't a loss I knew there was a good chance the cheap bastard would be a cheap bastard. But what I remember was how horrid it tasted when it got to where the pipe burnout. So how'd it taste when the thing kicked the bucket?
Yah, do this and put it on eBay.
Acrid. Like getting too close to a bonfire. But I was at the dottle of a tall bowl of bothy flake, so I could hardly tell. ?
I say we should blame the flake. I'll say that's what I was smoking too when I experienced burnout.... even though I had never even heard of the stuff at that point.
A wood shop is definitely one of the last places I’d want to smell burning. As sad as it is, I’m glad it was just your pipe!!
I checked every trash can, bucket, dust collector, and scrap pile in the shop. The smell never got stronger or weaker because it turns out I was walking around with the fire literally right in front of my nose!
All that darkened wood, not the burn itself, but the walls and the heel suggests some hard puffing!
It looks like the drilling for the tenon goes almost to under the bowl? It's nuts to me how much tar is built up in there and where.
I was hoping the burn out would have a cone shape from the sand pit or whatever, but it just looks like a straight hole.

This pipe is now on display at Arlington Pipe and Cigar outside Chicago. If you're in the area, it's a great shop to stop in at for many more reasons that just to gander at my folly.
