Why do you clean rim soot?

It's a short topic.

Only because I fold everything that goes in drawers! :rofl:
Back on topic though....I'm drawing a blank.

You'll notice on estate listings on smokingpipes.com, rim char gets demerits.

A lot of their estates that say minor rim darkening are just covered with tar and can be fixed with saliva or coffee and cleaned with a soft cloth. Have gotten a few estates from them in that condition and have cleaned up nicely. :wink:

Probably my rim-charred french knob got polished off.

Why clean your fork when you are just going to eat again?

Just wipe the fork off on the towel that has been hanging from the refrigerator handle for three weeks.

Because over time, sheep have started to panic when they hear a zipper.
Bada bing!

I like the distinction between charring and sooting/darkening/cake on the rim: Charring implies the wood is damaged; the others merely dirty.
Does anyone else make that distinction? Especially vendors?

Ewwwww.... (Or is that, "Ewe!")
After reading the news story today about the drunk caught screwing the grill of a van, I really didn't think it could get any worse. Thanks for proving me wrong.
