New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fart

I smoked it yesterday and it was 80 outside lol. I'm going to try half bowls, maybe air pocket method to see if that helps. LF has a strange texture as far as how wet it seems to the touch, maybe I'm not smoking them as dry as I think I am. Thanks Mr. Moo, I'll let you know if half bowls work out.
