smudge pot
Frost-fighting oil burner
A smudge pot is a container that burns fuel oil or other materials to produce thick smoke, traditionally used in orchards and groves to prevent frost damage to crops.
The smoke creates a blanket of warm air that protects fruit trees during cold nights.
Smudge pots were once common in citrus-growing regions but have largely been replaced by wind machines and other frost-protection methods due to air quality concerns.
