Cake?

[Tsal]

I maintain the cake in my pipes to the approximate thickness of a fingernail . . .

I would say I'm there as well, just enough to cover the wood.

That sounds like a lot of work.

Your retired, Ron. I'm sure with all that front porch sitting and ice tea drinking that you do, a little briar maintenance will do you some good.

Don't forget taking pot shots off the porch!

I've never done as much physical labor in my life as I have since we bought this house. I've been cleaning land, building fences, finishing up the barn/shop and so much more.

And neglecting your pipes. Lol

Yep. I haven't cleaned a pipe in a year.

Excellent movie. "Seconhand Lions", is definately a must see.

Now is the time to sit and clean them up..it might relax you.

Predictably enough, I let mine go until it bothers me and ream it back to almost nothing to start the process all over. It is probably nickel thickness at the worst and paper thickness or a little thicker when reamed

I seem to be the only person on the planet to have problematic heel cake. It gets so thick I will be in the car trying to get a hole through it with a pick. It will be solid and eventually cover the draft completely. This requires a series of Castleford sizes and some pressure to ream out.
