How should i correctly smoke with this pipe?

Question

I just got a pipe from the smoke shop and its a metal pipe that the bowl screws off of the shaft. But anyways i was wondering how to use the carb right becuase there is a peice of metal with what looks would be the carb that screws on top of the bowl. which would keep the "tabacco" from staying inside of the bowl but there is a little whole on top of that which i dont know if you would like the tabacco and then put the lid on if its even worth it.

Answer 1

It is not a carb.

It's a lid.  

Answer 2

pack the bowl with whatever, s***w on the lid, then you light your lighter, place it over the hole in the lid, and suck in, which lights the "inner contents".  It's just a lid so that when/if you're in windy places, or your friend is sitting far away from you, you can toss it to him/her without the "inner contents" falling out.  These are neat little devices.  And watch out, people like to steal them. :)  Happy smoking!

Answer 3

Light the tobacco, then s***w on the top.  Air comes through the hole on top when you draw on it.  It might be worth it if you are smoking in a windy place.  Wind can actually blow burning tobacco out of a standard pipe.  That could not be acceptable in some places.
