Mr Brog stems

[langod]

Anyone know where to get replacement pipe stems that will fit Mr Brog pipes? They're sold primarily on Ebay and Amazon -- neither of which list Mr Brog parts.
I have one I bought recently, but apparently took it apart too soon (thought an hour of cooling would be OK). Sadly I snapped the stem off in the shank. And I really liked the way it smoked. Obviously it's only a $30 pipe, so spending more than about $10 isn't going to be worth it.

This is what it looks like

Robster broke his not too long ago, and I believe he was able to get a replacement.

I did indeed. I contacted a seller called Greyhouse on eBay and they were able to send me a couple of stems out. It still cost, but not much. I got 2 stems and glad I did as one already has a crack in it and looks to fail soon. Stock up on the cheap stems if you like your pipe or if you find a higher quality stem that fits I'd love to know where, so I can get one also. Hope that helps...

Glad you found something! My rule of thumb is to never disassemble the same night, I always wait til the next day to be safe! To help, just think of this little guy next time...

From the sounds of it, this is a common problem, It may be worth sending the pipe to someone like Tim West or Walkers and have an acrylic stem made for it.
