Pit is a ways off and to the west of us. So the house is downwind. But we don't smell a thing. It's a BIG pit.

See if that gives you a picture of it. The house is on the very NE corner, the pit is on the SW corner, a big vertical line from North to South. If you zoom out, you can see the entire section (640 acres, or one square mile. From road to road square), and the section caddycorner to the NW of us, too. Imagine, 75% of that burned 19 months ago and just missed the house. Everything north of the house across the road burned, too.

Oops, way off topic, wasn't it. LOL! Now you know where I live.
