If someone came up to me and said something like "can you make more fire than smoke" I'd consider it to be a smart a$$ remark and ignore them, too. Something like, "looks like you got some wet wood -can I offer you some dry wood to help you out?" Goes a lot farther in my book.
Yeah...I could have been a lot more diplomatic, for sure. We were in the middle of a dinner I had spent 2 hours preparing for our last night at the campground. The amount of smoke was unreal. Our eyes were watering and we were coughing. Kinda ruined a really nice meal. Regardless, I could have been nicer.
However, if my neighbor came over and complained, I would have been embarrassed, apologized and would have attempted to do rectify the situation, even if I thought he acted like an asshat.
One thing to remember is that how you think you would react in a situation can be very different than how you actually react in that situation when you are frustrated, stressed, and angry at yourself and nothing is going as planned.
