Wood campfires do not have to smoke. Get a drum out of an old washing machine, cut off the tube in the middle of it. Put it on 3 brickd to keep it off of the ground. You won't believe the fire and heat it will produce because of the airflow the hundreds of holes provide. It may smoke until the wood gets going then it goes straight up because of the air drafting. Most fires smoke because they are built on the ground or trying to burn wet wood.
We were just over at our friends house (Florida) and an evening. It was cool outside, around 60, so they asked if we wanted to sit around a fire. He had just completed his "washer tub" campfire pit. He found a old washing machine that had a stainless steel drum. He took the drum out and mounted it on three stainless legs he fabricated. It gave off great heat!
It would be extremely hard to actually haul it around to camp though. Pretty large.
