[QUOTE="AJ, post: 496908, member: 2363"] Welcome to the discussion OZ. Your comments are born out in the pipes you make. I not sure about the density difference in the pipes you made for me, one is made from Osage Orange and the other from Walnut, but there is a difference in their weight and a pronounced difference in the way they smoke. The one made from Osage Orange is lighter and by far the better smoker. You mention your preference to a straight wall chamber and Kevin pointed out some disadvantages of the cone shaped chamber but it seems to me both have their good points. Certainly the straight wall chamber gives a more consistant quality to smoking regardless of blend while I believe a good argument can be made for the cone shaped chamber's ability to concentrate the flavor. Kevin pointed out that the cone shape concentrates heat thus allowing the outer wall to overheat. This is a logical statement but doesn't the botton sides of the bowl end up being thicker because of the cone shape and won't the extra thickness insulate the smoker from any additional heat? We've got a good discussion going. Let's keep it going because some good information is being shared. :) [/QUOTE]
