[QUOTE="denholrl, post: 457919, member: 2760"] Fred Hanna has suggested that most of the moisture that produces the gurgle collects at the tenon-mortise juncture, not at the bottom of the bowl. He suggests that we may be over-emphasizing the importance of being able to pass a pipe cleaner all the way from button to bowl. After paying attention to many smokes in some gurgley pipes, I agree with him. HOWEVER, what I also believe is that a "bump" in the smoke way that prohibits free passage of a cleaner may also contribute to more moisture build-up by disrupting the air stream. So, the pipe cleaner test may be important for a reason other than that of mopping up moisture. What do you think? RobD [/QUOTE]
