Here's something else I've noticed that nobody seems to pay attention to any more. With the advent of kero start having the tail pipe pointed into the wind is no longer an issue as it once was with gas start, but there is something else to consider. If the tail pipe is pointing into the wind and you have to use an extinguisher the wind will blow the gas or chemical away from the fire and back onto you, potentially reducing the effectiveness of the extinguisher.
