[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 335862, member: 1969"] Keep cake even, whether abundant or thin...I never suggest anyone go to bare wood. You might not like what you see, or be able to recover. Especially on an older estate. Those larger "chunks" that leave a chasm if cake is mucked-with can be filled with some pipe mud, and a few days to dry, followed by gentle smoking to "set" the mix. Often times, the chunks of cake, when reamed, are at the bottom of the bowl. Not surprisingly, as that's the area that's gotten the most moisture, constant heat and constricted airflow due to ash cover, even if the smoker is mindful of heat and speed of smoking. Cobs have taught me to really get good at shoring up soft spots with ash and bolstering potential problem areas--it works for older briars quite nicely. 8) [/QUOTE]
