[QUOTE="J Soshae, post: 238890, member: 1910"] I read this article back when it was first posted. I have tried to incorporate some of these techniques in my smoking. Here is what I have found: I do not chase the ember but I do find myself picking areas that are on the sides and pulling the pieces of tobacco into the middle. I do remove ash. In the competitions people are wiping tampers on paper. At the house I merely loosen the surface of the ash and shake a little out. Then I pull the unburned tobacco onto the hot embers. (have to be careful not to shake out the ember) Backdraft is done very gently. It is much more like Greg Pease's description of the breathe technique. I find it is effective in controlling the heat in the bowl. To much backwards breathing requires the ember to be tamped back down into contact with the remaining tobacco. [/QUOTE]
