[QUOTE="LL, post: 41395, member: 95"] From strictly a repairman's perspective (meaning nothing to do with flavor): A large number of pipes I see---around 40% of all bowls---have been significantly scorched. About 10% are badly burned. As a rule, people tend to overestimate briar's resistance to heat, not underestimate it. I think the zero cake people are taking a risk. One moment of inattention is all it takes to create a crazed area, and that spot will be more susceptible to heat from then on because of its increased surface area. The "penny thickness" guideline is a good one, imo. It definitely doesn't hurt and might help. [/QUOTE]
