[QUOTE="jefe1037, post: 319401, member: 2290"] when the old sailors flipped their pipes upside-down, how did the tobacco know to burn up? The thermal dynamics of a small tobacco fire are much different than, say, a campfire because of the much smaller scale of the combustion and the much lower temperature. The small embers we barely keep lit (ideally) are only igniting the tobacco that is directly in contact with them, so the angle of a canted chamber, or an oom paul dangling from one's mouth is barely relevant as long as the tobacco is consistently packed. As far as the heating of one side of the bowl, the diffusion of energy is much more efficiently carried by the heated air out of the opening of the bowl rather than through the briar itself. Could their be a temp. difference? Yes. But functionally only a degree or two. [/QUOTE]
