I live in a very small town down in Cajun country. Our lil neighborhood is maybe 6 blocks all sides with Cane field bordering. Firing up a pit around here has the opposite effect. Any guy in the 'hood' that smells smoke usually walks over to check it out and possibly score a beer. I am guilty of this as well and if I smell smoke coming from one of the houses I usually head over to check it out. Quite often we will wind up going home and getting something to add to the pit. One neighbor has a homemade smoke house and before firing it up he calls me, to see if I got anything that needs smoking. I guess I am blessed. last month I had the pit smoking like in the pic and the blues on the out door speakers and my elder neighbor lady hollered from across the fence "Hey Cappy, turn it up and what we havin for dinner"
