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.

These threads are written by Brothers here that are all willing to share their tips and tricks, The hobby is
