Not very practical, but I love it! I got it as a gift for a friend who loved it! It is a great thing to get as a gift for a smoker.

You have to love MM cobs, especially when they are a free gift with an order. These work great as is, but can also be enlarged to 7/8″ with a forstner bit on a drill press for longer smokes. I’m a fan of the 6mm filters as well.
