Metal pipe gauze question

[Ivy]

Hi guys! I'm brand new to the forum so hello to all I have a question about this little metal pipe I've just bought. I've never smoked a pipe before so I'm a little unsure about the whole gauze thing. My pipe has got what looks like gauze already built into the bowl, like a thin metal mesh layer. Do I need additional gauze as well? Or am I alright just packing my weed in the bowl on top of this mesh thing? I'm sorry for the poor description, I tried to upload a photo but it wouldn't let me so I hope you know what I mean!!

Oh, it's alright the way you're doing it. We usually use the gauze to filter the unwanted things out but if your pipe already has one, then kudos!
