    The spoon looking attachment is normally used to remove the dottle, unburnt swampy tobacco at the bottom after a good smoke.
    Having dottle isn't a bad thing, leaving it in is. It will ruin the next bowl even if it's the same blend.Don't try to use the "spoon" as
    a reamer, it is nowhere near straight enough to clean the sides and the point is all wrong to scrape the bottom. There are several
    reamers on sale through Amazon and P&C for fairly cheap.You should only ream a pipe when the cake is so thick you can no longer
    load a full bowl, or when cleaning one for sale (or gift), or if you recieve an estate pipe that hasn't been properly sanitized.There
    is a good thread here on restoring estate pipes in the DIY area, also some good lessons on the Salt/alcohol cleaning methods.
