Question about The Human Chimney

[happyhippyharry]

The human chimney is by far one of my favourite tricks, but most of the time I don't get much smoke :(

Do you have any tips to get as much smoke as possible?

I think we had covered a few of these in other threads, but it's probably a good idea to aggregate them here.

Tip #1: strike more than one match at a time.

Tip #2: Get matches that generate lots of smoke. Some seem to be fairly smoke-free.

Maybe it's cardboard vs wood or cheap vs quality. I'm not sure since I haven't done a whole lot of testing on this. I usually just use whatever I can grab for free from bars, restaurants, and hotels...which isn't that often considering my state bans smoking indoors.

I usually light 2 matches to get more smoke, also look for matches that have a white head, for some reason they seem to get more smoke for me
