How to pack a funnel bowl: part deux


Recommended Posts

Ok, so since my last attempt at this just got riddled with flaming and cursing and AHHHHHHHHH bad spelling, I figured I would try again.

What have you tried as far as packing Tangiers moassal into a Tangeirs funnel bowl (that is, the inverted funnel bowl) and what kind of results have you gotten....mine have not been to favorable and I am looking to figure this out.

I think it may be partly the coals I am using, but I cannot afford anything right now. I am using Nour coals, but verrrrry small chunks. I will be getting Japanese goldens as soon as possible.

Unfavorable, how? Thin smoke and harsh?

thin smoke and little to no flavor...and when I up the heat a bit I get lotsa smoke, no flavor and verrrry harsh

I was using the funnel bowl with two rings of holes made with the Mya poker that comes on the tongs...a 28" Mya bohemian (i did have a wooden stem cover, which may contribute by not allowing enough air around the inside stem) and very small chucks of Nour finger coals.

I am ordering the Japanese coals that everyone seems to get good results with, so I will try those then report back....but a picture guide for the funnel like for the standard you gave couldn't hurt


Thanks
