[QUOTE="Lesepfeife, post: 238908, member: 2336"] So in competition they are lightly tamping and then whatever adheres to the tamper is wiped so in effect they are removing pretty small amounts but multiple times? I think I read GP's article on this technique but don't recall the specifics. Maybe I'm not understanding this but it seems counterintuitive that the direction of the air flow would have different effects on the heat in the bowl. To my understanding, air movement across and through the ember would fan the fire and increase heat regardless of the speed of the draft. What am I missing? Is it that this technique keeps the ember burning because of the air flow but doesn't increase heat to the level that taking a draw on the pipe would do? If so why not just draft very gently?
