[QUOTE="Rad Davis, post: 97188, member: 34"] I agree with YAK, that burnout is usually a result of pipe abuse. I met a fellow fly fishing guide on the Missouri River in Montana one day who was smoking a Sasieni, and he said he liked the way they smoked, but they burned out on him quite often. He smoked them all day in winds that averaged about 15-20 mph or higher. I once got a pipe back from Smokers Haven that the customer said, "The top half of the pipe just fell off!" It was solid charcoal all the way around where it "fell off". There was a web site a few years ago site that posted a whole bunch of pics of pipes that had burned out. 90% of them burned out on the back of the bowl just above the shank. What're the odds of all those pipes having a flaw in the wood at the same spot? All that being said, if the bowl wall is too thin, a pipe can burn out through no fault of the smoker. Rad [/QUOTE]
