This is how you use a retort to clean your pipe. Basically, it’s running boiling alcohol into your pipe, cleaning, disinfecting and pulling the tar and nicotine out of the briar. I got mine from a fundraiser for the Sanctuary for Unwanted and Neglected Animals in Silvery Springs, New York. I found it on Ebay. You can search Ebay, go to www.suna.petfinder.com or write suna@rochester.rr.com. You can also find one in other pipe supply places online.
Excuse my big fat wrist getting in the way at one point. Obviously, I’m not a pro.
And yes, I was hiding in my garage so my wife wouldn’t get bent out of shape. I’m an idiot, but I’m not suicidal.
Oh, I forgot to add that I got 3 retorts with this kit, not just one.

Jack, thanks for the very informative video. I’ve seen these but never seen them in use. Will have to order one, hopefully through the same (very good cause) fundraiser.
