    If there is a breeze at all (and there usually is, with the hot air rising from the fire), there will be a low pressure area between the fire and whoever is standing near it. The smoke will be drawn towards that low pressure.

    It depends how strong the breeze.

    I was going to explain the principle a little differently. Basically, you're saying if the smoke is constantly in your face, it means you suck. :):

    I understand how the Benoulli Principle works.

    In this situation, I don't see how anything Bernoulli related would significantly affect the flow of the air that's already occurring due to the wind (which obviously flows from higher to lower pressure). If there is no significant wind, I can see how a body disturbing flow being entrained by the fire would create a lower pressure, and thus cause this.

    The hot air rising from the fire creates the low pressure. Air comes in radially to replace the rising air except where you are standing. There will be small vortex in the air moving in around you, hence a low pressure zone.

    The only thing I know about the Bernoulli effect I learned from Car Talk. Tom and Ray said it is was caused the sound that happens in a newer car the the windows are down.
