[QUOTE="ZuluCollector, post: 3824, member: 22"] TJ, I try and keep the cake on my pipes to a thickness that is no more than a dime. For me, that's optimal - it offers insulating properties but doesn't diminish bowl capacity nor does it threaten to crack the bowl by heating at a differential rate from the wood. Like everyone else here, I've seen pipes caked so thickly that there's very little room left for tobacco. Sometimes, thick cake will crack a bowl; sometimes not. I think it depends on the heat absorption- and diffusion-rate of specific pieces of briar. [/QUOTE]
