Take a look at your smokepipe
now and see If it is rusty or if the
rust has eaten through. In cool
cellars there is generally condensa-
ton, and in most cases the smoke
pipe will be moist or "sweaty" on the
underside. This is your warning.
The chemical reaction of the scot
in your smokepipe, combined with
the moisture from rains and con-
densation. will eat holes through
the pipe and thereby cause it to be
dangerous to use. Wiping the mois-
ture and rust from the outside will
do no good as it comes from the in
side.
Remedy: Take down the smoke
pipe, clean out the SCOT, wipe it dry
and then, with an oil soaked rag,
wipe both inside and out. This will
prevent rusting and the pipe will
last indefinitely.

new smokepipe almost every sea-
