Can't Find the Article About the Science of Using Matches

[ZeroContent]

I remember reading an article on why you should use matches and the science behind it. I just can't seem to find that article. I thought it was Greg Pease who wrote it, but I can't seem to find it on his site. Anyone know where that is? Or any other article about the science of pipes.

Maybe there isn't so much science as art, to fire and smoking. I mean, yah, there are formulas that must apply, but the more I read the less I find about the facts.

I think it was called "The Thermodynamics of Pipe Smoking".
No time to Google it right now but I'll see if I can find it over the weekend.

Found it, sorta. I found where it used to be now it's a dead link.

That is a great piece but Neill Roan shut down Passion for Pipes a couple of weeks ago but I remember there was one years ago that dealt with temps of different types of matches and lighters. :shock:

I could be hallucinating, but I think that article first appeared, or at least appeared, in The Pipe Smoker's Ephemeris. In any event, the gist of it was that wooden matches burn cooler than butane, and it went into length about why that was better. Kind of moot with me, as I prefer wooden matches regardless.

I am a wooden match guy, through and through. It was a great article. Sadly Neill Roan pulled the plug on his site.

It was up on Neill's site which sadly is no more. However, this talk by Russ Oullette covers this as well, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WKGbs_pf8OE the bit you're after starts 18 minutes in but the whole talk is very informative.

Cheers

I have a copy of the article at home on my computer, and could share it if you like.
