Here's a picture of a Smudge pot that I added to my vineyard.
This type of pot was used in places like California to "heat" the vineyard on cold nights to ward off the damaging freezing temps. It was commonly filled with diesel fuel and ignited and left to burn on nights when the temps were expected to drop below 32 degrees. Hundreds of them could be seen in some vineyards... what a fantastic sight!
This is a nostalgic item that I often saw in California when I lived there and just had to have one for old time sake.
