Good ideas crash. That 30 minute/half bowl mark does tend to throw it off a bit. I reckon it's about the point where your tighter pack up top meets with the looser pack beneath and they don't really meld together very well. Have to make sure that layer catches and burns before slowing back down.
Voorhees, I don't plan on talking to a soul or I know I'll let it snuff out on me. That's a pretty good long time and sounds like a decent prize. I have to use the pipe I carved for the competition, so who knows. It has to be presented as an unsmoked pipe, then we use that for the contest. It's anybody's guess as to how this thing is going to smoke. Could be great, could be a dud.
I think I'll ease into it pretty well too, provided I'm not that first goober to peter out. Still not sure if you use a filter or not. I think this one could accommodate one, but I haven't looked at it too closely. Not sure how much of a difference that makes from user to user, but I'm used to not using a filter at all.
