I guess this is a normal thing right since all four of my Missouri Meerschaum pipes have that chunk of wood in the bowl.
How do people deal with that wood? Is the only option to just be careful?
I only smoked wood once, on my first go with a MM, since then though I've been fine so it does look like I got the hang of it. The reason I ask though is because I just got a small one (The Shire Cobbit I believe) and it looks like it might be tricky since the bowl is so small.
I presume that bit of wood is the reason MM pipes smoke so well?
