Ran the Mike today, did a little experiment with the chuff pipe to see how it affects stack talk/plumes.
You Tube video here:
BIt windy, as you will hear.
First features a modified chuff pipe with a notch cut in it to hopefully let some sound reverberate in the smokebox, pipe extends up out of the smokebox a bit.
Second is just a straight chuff pipe that ends a bit below the top of the smokebox, bit larger in diameter also.
Third is NO chuff pipe, just the nozzle I got from Charles. Best stack talk by far, but no plumes.
I tend to lean towards the first for a good mix. May shorten the pipe a bit to keep the top below the top of the smokebox, may help the 'talk' a little bit more. Any opinions? Jerry
