We have a makeshift tray out of carton that has a crease where I can put the paper with the filter, and we use a little cocktail-umbrella-thingy to push the weed a little further down the joint. Though I didn't feel like I needed it necessarily - I was mostly fine just lightly tapping the bottom of the joint on the table to get a somewhat even distribution.

Which gap do you mean exactly? Don't quite know what you mean

Thanks for the tips. Cheers!

On the bottom right of the joint in your picture, it looks like there's space where you can see through the paper. Get something like a lolli pop stick, and before you tie off the end, tamp the weed down so it's all a tighter pack. The more even the pack, the better the burn.

Oh, yea, I see it now. I think I just squished the paper at that spot so it didn't distribute equally. I'll make sure to try this next time
