Why not make a visit to Fa's Kitchen again and see what Fareeha is cooking up for us? On the menu is Cone Bullion Knot Stitch. Anyone who has 'cooked' the Bullion Knot knows how plumb it is, albeit a bit tricky to get even.
If you have problems getting your Bullion Knots nice and even, maybe this is a stitch for you - the Cone Bullion Knot is a bit wonky as it is thicker/looser at one end.
The first steps are the same as for Bullion Knot:
DON'T wrap the thread tightly round the needle.
Instead, start with a little loop.
Make a few more loose wraps,
then make some tight wraps.
Pull the needle through the wraps carefully. It will look like a mess, but just do it slowly.

It's a perfect carrot. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it.
You can really change that knot many ways depending on the direction, number of wraps and the tension on those wraps. Sometimes you just don't want perfect Bullion Knots.
I like an even bullion stitch.
I love bullion stitches and have never seen this one before.
Yes, I like the cone bullion knot. Bullions can be tweaked into many beautiful shapes, good for flora and fauna.
The cone looks brilliant! A useful stitch to know!
Thank you for showing!

Now that one is full of possibilities!
I like this version too. The one on the right makes me think of a parsnip- just needs a fawn/white thread. I'll have to try the lesson.
