Why did I ask how these are being set up?

Why not pits at each end, with the wind of the day determining which pit you'll use?
I see that most are set up with the pit in the middle, just the way everybody has always done it, I guess, but not the best, or safest way. Also I've see quite a few with NO protection given to the pits. Not to mention a bunch of folks standing around telling big ones, and not paying attention to what's going on.
