Pete, I have two JP billiards exactly as yours. Pietenpauw does a great job of this style. Both are FVF machines.
Congratulations - you won't own a better smoker!
The first pipe of the day - for me usually very early - is a great one. As is the bowl after dinner. But the absolute best is a situational one - when I'm sitting around a camp fire. Nothing, but nothing, beats that.
