Are you referring to a stinger?

Does it look something like this?

If so, read this thread - Stinger or Not to Stinger...

 

[drpipe]

...it is a mesh(work)and round(disk form)of cheap metal

Okay, I'll try again. Do you mean a screen?

If so, the screen is to prevent ashes from being sucked up the stem.

I don't know of any tobacco smokers who use them.
Here is another thread - Do You Use Pipe Screens?

YEEEEESSSSSSSSSS,you are best,philip

I've never used them in my week long pipe smoking career. ::

I tried them in the early 70's... just because I was getting anything 'pipe' related. But I don't care for a

basket in my pipes. May be useful for a large bowl pipe with a large draft, to keep a small cut tobacco off

your tongue.

As mentioned in the linked thread, they are also commonly used in another type of pipe that we don't normally discuss on this site.

yeah they are not really necessary for tobacco pipes...Also I can't find a pic right now...but my ex, in trying to be supportive of me giving up cigarettes for the pipe, also got me a few pipe jacks? I'm not sure of the actual name, but they look like small jacks,the old game type, not the car lifting type. Don't use those either but their basically to a screen what a stinger is to a filter

 

[taerin]

I hear pipe jacks work well in glass pipes...

 

[joshwolftree]

yeah none of mine are and I'd be worried about em gouging my briar
