Beginner question. Say I don't smoke the entire bowl to the bottom. Do I dump it out hot or for some reason wait until it is out and cooled down?
Dangit, Got Tired!On the forums we have an acronym for smoking half a bowl and finishing it later, "DGT".
"Delayed Gratification Technique"
Not a fan"DGT".

That’s what I do, I leave a pipe cleaner in the pipe to soak up moisture, seems reasonably effective.Rarely bowls don’t get finished - usually because I’ve had enough
Bowl gets dumped and pipe cleaned immediately.
I don’t like leaving wet dottle to sour the bowl
Yes, don’t take it apart till very cool, shanks will crack. I actually don’t take pipes apart more than once a month for a deep clean.Dump immediately. No problem there.
Clean immediately? Well, some assert that removing the stem whilst the stummel is hot/warm can crack the latter (or is it the former? ), so I'd wait to clean till it's cool, unless it's a pipe with a military mount.
