    So the thing where you sit on one side of the fire awhile, then the wind shifts and all the smoke is blowing in your face, so you move to the other side, and then the wind shifts again and all the smoke is blowing on you again, that thing is really old.

      Pro-tip, if your fire is putting out tons of smoke it’s not burning hot enough. Smoke is unburnt fuel that’s being carried away by hot air. Add more wood to the fire and move the existing wood into a tighter group while still allowing oxygen to penetrate to get it to burn hotter. Then, all of the smoke should burn off before getting lifted away.
