I filled the bottom of one of my country gentleman and great dane egg's with some pipe mud and they seem to smoke even better. All the space around the bottom of the bowl where the shank goes in is filled in and the draft hole is level with the bottom. It also seemed to narrow the hole down to the diameter of a pipe cleaner. I used ash from my smoker after reading about wood ash being better than cigar ash.

I have several others I want to do this with, but trying to burn off some of the wooden shank.

Someone said a while back that it takes about 6 bowls to burn that out, but I'm finding it takes much much more than that. I think if I can just get a good char I should be able to just mud over it.
