In south Florida, they mostly kept piles of old tires. Doused with kerosene, they put out lots of 'smudge', and that far south, they were more cost effective. Probably outlawed now a days.
I imagine they are outlawed there, too. Lindsay, California.

@edgarblythe,
wanna buy some?. Up here in apple and peach country we used a much bigger smudgie. Itd carry Bunker C the dirtier the better. Youd light em after dark and the valleys 'd look like a coal cracker was working nearby . Nowadays they use mostly water sprays down to about the mid 20's F. Below that, yer screwed.

We thought nothing of walking around as some were burning.
