You can cook the unglazed clay in the oven, but you should not smoke out of it. Things made with clay are typically made for decoration. The intructions you got with your clay do not know that you will be touching flame to it and burning stuff in there. ;) It will burn away and taste gross man, so you do need a kiln to set that glaze on there. If not used in a kiln, like said, you will just be smoking the fumes from the pain as it will just sit on the surface of the clay, not cook in like a kiln is designed to do.
Man, I REALLY hate to make my first post a negative one. But, take that pipe outside and stomp on it until its pulverized. I am a sculpter/ artist. I mainly do F/X work and automotive/motorcycle sculpting.
The clay that you are using is a Polymer clay, Polymer=PVC=Plastic.
This stuff will do long term permanent damage.
Nice attempt, but please do some research on clays. Take a ceramics class and learn the right way behind your teachers back!!!
GOOD LUCK

Keep it as it is, and call it clay-jay.
Why?
It's orange = orange juice/OJ
It's clay
so, Clay-Jay
