will a little heat damage my pipes?
sorry if this has been asked before but my Internet right now is limited to my phone. Had to move to a new place for school for a month and the only place I've got to set my pipes is over the heater vent. It isn't getting too hot and I'll have them placed on a wooden rack. I plan on keeping the temp at 70 at most. Would this bit of warmth cause my pipes any harm?

Ps. I may not be able to respond quickly but will check back in every so often tonite. Thx!

Seems to me that since we light fires in them,
a little heat won't do too much harm.

Your pipes will be fine. Not to worry.

Re: will a little heat damage my pipes?
Fresh wood generally dont like to have sudden climate changes. That includes extra fast drying, resulting in cracks. But since u allready have dry wood in the pipe I see no problem!

Infact I have my pipes next too an open fire! (and have no problems)

What they said
Humidity is a concern. If the heater vent is dry...This could dry out and crack your pipes.
Be aware of the dryness..

Have you experienced this, TOB - a fracture related to drying out?

That's what I figured, but was worried about the briar/stems warping or cracking as TOB mentioned below. I'll update if I find anything, but I doubt I will. Thanks again for the posts guys!!!
