[QUOTE="MisterE, post: 123043, member: 820"] Yes, tamping is the ticket. If the tobacco is too loosely packed to begin with, it can just burn down the middle. Even lighting will help as well. Sometimes very coarse cut tobacco will have trouble keeping lit at the extremities of the bowl. Just `cause you tamp doesn`t necessarily mean you have to relight- just keep puffing as you tamp it down and it`ll stay lit. I like to dump out excess ash as I go- just a light tap on the side of the bowl to loosen the ash. That allows for freer oxygen flow and it will burn more evenly. Smoking the bowl to the bottom is much easier that way too. Just my $.02. :D [/QUOTE]
