Alright KatoDog!

I followed your tutorial and it gave me all the fundamentals I needed to get started playing with this next step in smoke photography. Thank you this is a fun technique, and I like the results out of the gates....

I know they are not perfect but this was a lot of fun. I can see myself spending hours doing this

Looks good to me...and trust me, "spend hours" is just the beginning, wait until winter hits and it's all you'll do for three or four months.

The only stupid question is the one that goes unasked - Photographers shoot to thrill, not to kill

Thanks so much Katodog for the tutorial! Here's the result of my "proof of concept" shot where I verified that I could reproduce a similar shot. I've got some gels now so I will be trying them out this weekend - wish me luck!
