You boil one of those things with the cork out in the first place, surely?
This.
Found them generally quite effective. Used it for 10 days without noticing any ash or any real burns. They do definitely speed up the boiling process, you can't take that away from them.
The real issue is that you can forget that it is tunneling the flames making it much hotter over the hole in the middle. Really bad if you lift it out of the fire with no gloves.

Dreadful bits of equipment, unless you like your tea with a side order of wood ash and scalds.
