Replacement Stems - Peterson Condenser for Premier System and Deluxe System Stems
Just the thing to "upgrade" your System Standard to a full System
I have a 301 System Standard with the smoke channel drilled too low in the reservoir. The smoke hole is well below the stem tenon extension. This condenser solved the problem: attaching it to the end of the tenon extension puts the end of the stem deeper into the reservoir below the smoke hole, as Mr Peterson intended. All that I had to do to make it fit was enlarge the stem hole slightly with a hand-held drill bit until it was just slightly smaller than the threads. Using a small wrench to grip the flat of the condenser, it screwed firmly into the stem. I'm now buying them for all my System Standards. You can shave the tenon extension down as needed or remove it entirely, so you can fine-tune the tip of the condenser just where you want it in the reservoir. In short, if you're a Thinking Man or a Pete Geek that wants the best working Full System for your pipe, this chimney condenser is well worth the money!

Top 10 Best-Selling Aromatic Tobaccos
