I am about 10 smokes in on my new Rossi 8106 and tonight after a cleaning I noticed what looks to be a small hairline crack at the very bottom of the fraught hole. Is this something to fret over? Warranty? Please advise 7122F2CF-2995-4033-9B56-A9E360C11F24.jpeg

Nothing to fret about, looks like a little charring from breaking in the pipe. Perfectly normal, I wouldn't worry about it.

Doesn't look like anything I'd worry about myself. Once you have a few bowls in there, it might just seal itself up with cake if you let it.

If you are really concerned, bring it up with the vendor you bought it from.

No worries. If it is bothering you can always ask the guy you bought it from if there is anything he can do. Rossi's aren't particularly expensive pipes so there's decent chance he won't.

I concur with previous posts. Pretty soon, it will cake over. Meantime, look at it only once a week, or once a month, to be sure it isn't a process, but no one here, including me, thinks it is.
