[QUOTE="Ol'Dawg, post: 50944, member: 105"] To cover another base....Someone on the old Knox board mentioned they used a doubled up bristle pipe cleaner to scrub the bowl after a smoke to minimize the need for reaming. I tried it and found it to work great. I have several pipes that I experimented with and found they don't need reaming even after a couple of hundred smokes. In some situations I've used a sharp pocket knife to even the cake or a Brebbia/Italian adjustable reamer ($6 to $10) to even the cake more uniformly. I think the key in using a reamer is to go gently and make several light passes rather than trying to remove the excess cake all at once. Jim...my ha'pence worth [/QUOTE]
