[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 215027"] [size=7][color=red]HEY ![/color][/size] Pipe cleaners (bristle or not) and alcohol are [color=red]NOT[/color] the right way to clean the airway in the stummel. Get a short, consecutive run of drill bits up to and including the largest i.d. you're dealing with, and a tap wrench handle. With the stummel dried out after smoking, start with an undersize bit, going only a short distance at a time & withdrawing it to clear the flutes of the gunk it's cutting out. Don't force it -- drill bits are snappable. Work your way up to the original i.d., a little at a time. When you're done, you'll have clean walls and more gunky, crusty crap removed than you'd ever get with alcohol. Which would only dissolve it & soak it further into the briar. This is the SOP of LL (Precision Pipe Repair & Restoration). You're welcome :D :face: [/QUOTE]
