[QUOTE="MisterE, post: 228823, member: 820"] I just tried this with a Charatan Canadian and some Bullseye flake. Both known quantities so I could get a feeling for it. I packed it up and then poked a hole through the center with a toothpick (count me among the Czechtool-less). It lit quite readily, and the combustion area remained in the center, as predicted. Interestingly enough, it smoked rather hot. The pipe itself was quite cool, but the smoke was significantly hotter than usual. I think the venturi effect concentrated the airstream and the added velocity caused the hotter burn. I'll give it another go later and see how it works. Perhaps I'll have more success purposefully packing it too tight. All in the name of science. [/QUOTE]
