heat risers

Colin you took it too seriously. Laff. When do I ever call you or your advice "worthless"?

Another method:
With water and heat on the tube and a flexible auger (ie clutch cable like):
for the auger I used an old drain snake (1/4"). about $10 at yer local hardware/department store. I snipped off various lengths (3 or 4 lengths should do it, 6", 10" 14"...)and bent over the end like a little hook for scraping the cake. Make sure the hook points back toward the wind so you are tightening the coil while it scrapes. Also the hook should point a little inward so it won't scrape the sidewall. Tempered (heat hook to glowing red and plunge in cold water so it won't wear down too quick). Attach to drill the end so that only 4-6 inches sticks out of the tube. water, heat, scrape. pour out. repeat. As you remove gunk you will crawl in toward the center.
The various lengths help with the snakes tendency to wrap over itself because you keep the exposed flex area short. I also held my hand over the exposed area to keep it in check. I avoided the chemicals for this because of splatter and fumes from heating, goggles are a must anyway.
Bob was there. Seemed to work ok.

yep- i used various length sockets to keep the end from winding up- only after wrapping up my finger once

I am a serious man. This is a serious hobby. Don't you know how to spell "l-a-u-g-h"? Spelling is serious.
