Mike330R Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Just run it, if they try and cite you ask for the exact code that says it's a no no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you keep it from boiling over? I have tried oil and gas and saw someone else try the veggie oil. Always seems to get to a point that it boils over and makes a mess.

TeeDuner Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Been using mine for a few seasons now. Used veggie oil or used oil mixed with gas and you're good to go. Diesel works just as well. Diesel will burn longer than straight gas but won't get as hot. They are awesome on a cold night, no one has to fight the smoke alley blowing from a fire. Sure they don't replace a campfire but they are great for hanging out and socializing. The air pollution thing came about because of what was being burned in them, it was like a tar oil substance. So if you picture 1000 smudge pots bellowing this black cloud over the crops every winter. But one or two in a camp being used as a heater shouldn't be a problem. I've been approached by rangers in Calico, they stopped and we talked about them...the rangers in the campground use them to stay warm. Smudge on!

timothyleavitt Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 We found that it burns better if you only fill the pot 3/4 full. Is anyone looking for a Smudge Pot? Does anyone know the going rate? A friend of mine just paid $150.00 for his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandBurro Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Go to an old orange grove, citrus farmers still use these at times to warm up the groves during cold winter to protect their harvest. You can run Diesel in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUn2it Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Kerosene will burn as hot as gas but as long as diesel in a smudge pot and no soot, if it's not too expensive. I have a washing machine tub with a hole in the bottom and it fit upside down on top of another one and we fed wood through the top, hot as hell, wind proof and smoke free.

CaptNkllm Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Anyone know how or what to do with a smudgepot that leaks? was told about a drop in pan? is it a just drop in bucket or is it the same size as the original pan and it fully replaces the old 1? Mine has a few small holes and I want to get them to stop leaking. I tried the 9gal pan from Home Depot but My smudgepot boiled over and made a mess any ideas?
