maybe a little side note to pay closer attention while enjoying adult beverages.... At least I needed a haircut anyway.

Thanks, Sir Foster! However, I must say the list was only possible after I learnt all of this through this very forum... It really IS the answers to questions I had asked people here and off-forum... I hope it proves helpful for others so we don't repeat the same questions and mistakes...

Awesome list. I passed it along to some of my new smoker friends. Thanks for sharing.

#105 - When grilling and having a good time, make sure you look at your cigar before putting it in your mouth. In the midst of having a fun time at the grill, one can put the wrong end in

Don't keep burros in your humi, no matter how fond of them you may be.

What if you made a separate divider or compartment for the burros?

LMFAO! Send them burros to me - I have a special compartment in my basement for them...

I'd like to see a list of the 5 levels of the tobacco plant, as well as the different strains and what their characteristics are. Also, I know that certain soils contribute to the tobacco more than just altering taste, like a high magnesium concentrate gives a white ash (contrary to popular opinion, which says white ash is a symbol of quality - it's not, it's just a higher concentration of a few elements), etc - stuff like that would be cool

Bumping this up cause I see it referenced in some threads. I hope everybody still finds the list useful... I should probably try to organize it a bit...

here's one: When filling up your torch lighter, don't hold it next to your ear to hear if you have enough gas in it...
