Here is a neat little project, doesn't cost a lot of cash, it is easy to do, can do it all in one weekend, and best of all, it works! Unfortunately, it kind of dates me a little and that isn't all that cool. I remember them from the fifties, there were called Smudge Pots. http://boxcarokie.com/eagle-bus-photos/ (http://boxcarokie.com/eagle-bus-photos/) Just click on the link.
Happy Hunting .....

Don't know about Smudge Pots but saw lots of them on trucks; early flares.
Are you buiding um, restoring um or putting them out at night to scare the really old folks. I remember those around road construction sites when I was a kid in the late 50's..

10 miles South of Smithville Tx. in the boonies. My mailing address says Muldoon but I'm 10 miles west of there. I don't see any lights at night except the stars.

Those were the Florida State Flower back in the boom times.

Hey Glen,
Do you know Ronnie Wunsch? He used to be my next door neighbor growing up. I think he is the fire chief at the Muldoon VFD. I think the area around La Grange is beautiful, but the land around there costs too much for me.

I used to use orchard smudge pots to heat the gospel tent during revivals in colder weather. Last time I used one was just 2 years ago. They can get a little smelly.

I would never use mine inside, but they are nice outside, just set them down next to the lawn chairs or the patio table and light 'em up. I don't use kerosene in them either, so that helps.

Hey David, Don't know the boys at the VFD. They hold there meeting in the middle of week and until I quit working out in the Odessa Tx. Oilfields they wont see my smiling ugly face. I think the land prices are nuts everywhere. I bought 100 acres 5 years ago here.

Flambeau, is the name that I have heard them called. But that when I was a kid many years ago. ;D
