I'd go along with this. Stuffing and testing the draw. I started out doing the 3-step and trying the swirl, and didn't see much difference. For me, the more important thing to learn in keeping a bowl lit was to occasionally restrict the flow of air when drawing, with a match book cover or small card. It works wonders. Having said that, I'm curious about the air pocket method....
