Passes a cleaner straight down into the bowl. AND, the mortise had to be only 1/4" in order to keep the shank narrow and light, so there wasn't much room to tilt the airhole bit, but it can be reamed with a bit still. No ramping done, either - instead, I managed it by moving the tenon inlet.
Happy Smoking,

Nice! I kind of has a Mushroom-y feel to it. It reminds me of that old movie where people turned into mushrooms.
