Dugout Pipes

(Rated 4.79 / 5.0 from 705 reviews)

Dugout pipes are small, super portable pipes which are paired with a carrying container. This carrying container is typically made from wood or metal and features a chamber “dugout” to perfectly accommodate the pipe.

The pipe itself is a very simple design resembling a chillum or one hitter. Dugout pipes are little more than straight hollow tubes with a bowl at one end and a mouthpiece at the other.

A Dugout System is the full kit of dugout pipe plus the dugout stash container. You can find dugout pipes and containers in wood, metal, and sometimes even glass varieties.


Why Use a Dugout Pipe

Dugouts pipes are designed with stealth and concealability in mind. If you’re trying to take a few puffs on the down-low, dugout pipes are one of the simplest ways to get a few tokes in without drawing any attention to yourself.

Easy to load and accommodating only small bowls, they are great for personal smoking. Once you’re done, you can slide your dugout pipe into the carrying container and go about your business as usual.


How to Use a Dugout Pipe

Dugout pipes are among the simplest smoking devices you could hope for. Just load a small amount of your smoking material into one end, light it, and gently inhale.

There’s no extra glassware, carburetor holes, or anything you need to fiddle with.

Take a little care when inhaling from your dugout pipe. Because it is a relatively small chamber, it doesn’t cool the smoke as effectively as a larger piece might. Just go easy with the flame and take gentle puffs and you’ll be fine!


How to Clean a Dugout Pipe

If you’re looking for an easy to clean smoking device, it’s hard to beat the dugout pipe.

Most cleaning can be accomplished by routinely running a Q-Tip or pipe cleaner through the length of the pipe.

If resin gets particularly baked-on and won’t come free, just soak the dugout pipe in some isopropyl rubbing alcohol for a few minutes and try again. This works well for metal dugout pipes, but should be avoided with wooden varieties.


Cheap Dugout Pipes

If you’re looking for smoking equipment on a budget, it’s hard to beat a cheap dugout pipe. By the nature of being small, lightweight, and easy to conceal, dugout pipes tend to be quite cheap.

Not only do you get a pipe, you also get a complete dugout system equipped with a stylish and functional carrying container. Definitely adds to the bargain when compared to a standard one hitter, chillum, or pipe!
