Eric has beef with Joseph.  Joseph and Eric talk about how Eric has been tamping wrong for 15 years and how with one slight change went from lots of left over dottle to smoking a bowl down to clean ash.  If only Joseph had said something perhaps this travesty could have ended years ago.  If you are interested in the Houston Pipe Club go to HoustonPipeClub.com.
