I have never burned my thumb.

I don't use my thumb.

I use my finger.

The hole is called a carburetor.

You release your thumb, or finger, when you want to release the smoke.

It is similar to shot gunning.

Also tapping the hole, while drawing on the pipe, will help to ignite the weed in the bowl.

Hope that answers your question.

Enjoy.
