I think I screwed up

I wanted to clean a pipe of accumulated stuff around the bowl, so I scraped it with the sppon tool. Lots of gunk came out. When I smoked it the next night, I could swear I tasted burned wood, from the bowl? Did I foul up the pipe? or do I just need to smoke a few bowls to get a cake going again?
 
I think its just a cake issue man. Smoke a few more bowls out of it giving it time to rest between and it should be fine. You might want to ream it all the way though so the cake you rebuild is even.
