Title edited for caps and brevity. Original:
Are all my pipes army mount? And can you remove the stem when hot?
Are all pipes with metal surrounding the mortise considered an army mount? Thus are they safe to remove the stem from the shank when it's warm?
I have a peterson 999. It has a nice silver band around the mortise. I have 4th generation pies that have this metal band around the mortise with 4th generation written on it. I have a 2022 peterson christmas edition army mount. (neither peterson is a system, but they both have copper or metal around the mortise.
The 4th generation I'm most interested in, it would be nice to know I can remove the stem during mid smoke. The pertersons, the same thing as the 999 like sto gurgle and the christmas edition likes to clog with tobacco bits.
I was under the impression only standard system and spigot pipes were removable when hot. Now I'm thinking the bulk of my pipes which all have this so-called army mount are okay too!?
Appreciate your advice, thanks guys.
