The antagonist of "Star Wars" had a back-yard he called... The Ren Pen?
"I'm not a Psychopath, I'm a High-Functioning Sociopath, do your research."
"But I don't regret, nor will I forget, all who took that road with me. Night is now falling, so ends this day. The road is now calling and I must away. Over hill, and under tree, through lands where never light has shined. I turned at last to paths that lead home."

I can’t say any of your answers are wrong wrong (except for the unanswered #14), but a couple of comments.
2. When the Gaffer had folks over for dinner he often . . . drew brew
Sure works but here I’m thinking the Gaffer’s forté – taters
4. The antagonist of “Star Wars” had a back-yard he called . . . Thrawn Lawn
Although not an incorrect rhyme I have assumed (there he goes again – ‘assuming’  ) that a Tolkien word should be somewhere in each sentence. Here think Darth’s . . .
5. Illuin was odd but . . . a bright light
A good answer but Illuin had a companion for another answer . . .
6. The title on ‘Huggins’ Bottled Pickles’ read . . . Will's Dills
So he was never called “Will” just “Bill” a couple of times. (Ok, overly picky here – sorry  )
12. Chow time at Brandy Hall was sometimes called a . . . Buck Tuck
Credit, but a little pushing it. I think ‘tuck’ is an English word for food or a snack, but I’m thinking of a large Hobbit hole – called a . . . ?
20. If the Shire Hobbits danced in a deep circular dell it would be a . . .dingle Springle
Nice try but ‘Springle’ is incomplete. Should be Springle-ring. But you’re on the right track . . .
Thanks bunches for playing

I needed the warmup. It’s 2 degrees F. here and we have already had an "all-time record" snowfall here in the valley, with 6-10 more inches forecast for tonight and tomorrow --- *Youch* 
1. Ferny gurney? (Gurney is a guess. It may be mis-spelt - it's not a word we ever use but I've heard it in NCIS)
Yes, gurney (litter or stretcher) is pretty common over here, and yes I believe it’s spelled correctly.
2. Boasts roasts? (That's taters, precious, that's roast taters)
Seems to work fairly well, but I was thinking ‘taters’ for my rhyme. (Mine may be just a tad off of a “perfect” rhyme.)
4. Darth's garth?
This works but doesn’t include a Tolkien word, which I didn’t say it had to, so it works, works I say. But there is a Tolkien word that rhymes with garth and Darth.
5. Illuin was odd but . . . a bright light
REAL bright but Illuin had a ‘friend’. . .
12. Chow time at Brandy Hall was sometimes called a . . . Brandybuck tuck?
Here goes you Britishers with your “tuck” or is it “tucker”? I love it!
But Brandy Hall was a big big “Smial”, and I’m sure we’ll all have fun with its pronunciation and rhymability (is that a word?)…
16. Myrtle girdle (doesn't quite rhyme, but.....)
Huh? Really? Honestly?
20. If the Shire Hobbits danced in a deep circular dell it would be a . . . Springle dingle
As with Sevilodorf ‘Springle’ is incomplete. Should be ‘Springle-ring’.
Doin’ the Springle-ring in a . . .
Thanks for playing dear Dormouse, and for the HOT tea. I needed that!

erm... OK. How about
2. Mater's taters (assuming it's a recipe he learned from his mother )
4. In that case I stand by Darth's garth. Treegarth of Orthanc, anyone?
5. Ormal was normal?
12. Smial meal, then (I've always thought of it as 'smile' but I could be quite wrong!)
20. Er... don't know! dingle-thing?
Good game - hope it kept you warm!

Is good. How about “catered taters” (said it wasn’t a spot-on match)
4. In that case I stand by Darth's garth. Treegarth of Orthanc, anyone?
Is good. But a Tolkien word would be “parth” = Darth’s parth.
5. Ormal was normal?
Nailed it!
12. Smial meal, then (I've always thought of it as 'smile' but I could be quite wrong!)
Nailed it! For me anyway. But I knew there might be pronunciation problems with smial.
I’ve always pronounced it ‘smeel’. But I could be quite wrong too
20. Er... don't know! dingle-thing?
How about A Springle-ring in a Dingle-ring? (circular dell) 
Thanks for the 2nd cup... 
It's up to 13 degrees F. We're havin' a heat wave...

That’s a nice bit-o-thinkin’ there
Some thoughts in case you haven’t peekeed yet:
2. When the Gaffer had folks over for dinner he often . . . crammed Ham?
Seems to work well enough.
How ‘bout . . . catered taters? (one that isn’t a spot-on rhyme match but. . . )
12. Chow time at Brandy Hall was sometimes called a . . . Buck chuck?
Some folks seemed to get stuck with ‘Buck’ on this one.
How ‘bout a . . . Smial meal? (which is questionable depending on how one pronounces ‘smial’….)
14. If your friend was a burglar he would be a . . . cruddy buddy?
Now this works fine but has no Tolkien connection (which yours truly forgot to ask for )
How ‘bout . . . felon mellon?
17. If one of the founders of the Shire was a drug runner he would be called . . . Blanco...Blanco?
Gotcha! How ‘bout . . . Marcho the narco? (Here again the pronunciation may be questionable. I’ve always thought Marko, whereas I’m sure some would think March-o.)
18. To get his dog to behave Farmer Maggot would have to occasionally . . . nip Grip?
Excellent try. How about . . . whip Grip? Er, did Maggot nip Grip or did Grip nip Maggot? That is the question...
20. If the Shire Hobbits danced in a deep circular dell it would be a . . short cavort?
Ooo! I love your double entendre on this one! And I must say your answer is not too 'short' of the mark.
I had . . . a Springle-ring in a dingle-ring…
Thanks for playing my silly game!
