Dude, That is exactly what I was describing. I have a two knuckle one and a three knuckle one. I generally prefer the three knuckle one because the stem is a bit longer and it folds down just a hair smaller. The brass and wood cool the smoke and mellow it out. It smoke better than a lot of pipes I have tried. It travels great. Got one packed in my pocket right now.

As far as overheating, it can get hot when you get to the end of the bowl. Cooking the resin out can get rather heated. In normal use, I don't have any heat troubles.

Main drawback is that it clogs up quickly. After smoking about 1/8th through it, I can hardly draw it anymore. Cleaning the bowl chamber is a breeze. The knuckle joint and the top half are quite a bit harder. After about an oz through it, I scrape what I can then soak the whole thing in alcohol. This cleans it up nicely.

Enjoy it. I sure enjoy mine. Just to show you how well it works, I'll take a hit now... <flip><light><inhale><close><hold><exhale> Ahhhh.... now, wasn't that nice?
