Nicely done - both pilots!
Was the tow pilot aware of the problem before the glider pilot called?
Did he get a cockpit full of smoke or did all of it stay outside and
invisible to the tuggie? Did he keep the engine running throughout the
landing?

Good job, glad it came down safe.
Waiting for UncleHank and a couple others to reply, our club had a rash of bad cylinders a number of years ago.
