QUOTE (cohlineman @ Dec 22 2006, 02:48 AM) Have you ever tried replacing the clay bowl with an apple? That could be a good and different route for you. Using a good firm apple and a sharp pairing knife, carve out and emulate the conical shape to fit over the top of the stem (we will refer to this as the apple's anus) and then hollow out a bowl on the other end of the apple (grapefruit spoon works good, we will call this the mouth of the apple). Using a skewer, create the holes from the apple bowl to the hollowed out portion thust allowing for the smoke from the mouth to pass through and exit the anus. Then smoke to your hearts content. I have tried this with a granny Smith or tart green apple and Dbl Apple tobacco. That and/or the liquid suggestions given above should get you all happy inside. Feel free to drop the physiological descriptions, I have fetish issues, sorry. JV Even better, you could make a funnel bowl out of an apple, it shouldn't be too hard..oh and ice in the base really helps
