[QUOTE="Kapnismologist, post: 106232, member: 487"] That is great advice (on good cake building tobaccos and on smoking SLOOOWLY to get it established)! How much charred wood do you typically find in the chambers of your refurbs? Is it always gray in color, or is it black too (I am wondering if there is a difference)? My initial assumption with a charred chamber is that it is typically best to simply remove the char (which unfortunately results in a depression at the charred spot) so that it will not further char further, and then to start again by building a whole new cake. I know that some fellows like to use 'pipe mud' (a mixture of cigar ash and water or saliva) to fill up cracked or charred areas, but I have tried that numerous times and did not like the results.
