"Personally, I don't use DWO, though.   When necessary, I just take the 
smoker and generate a huge cloud around myself by pointing it upwind and 
puffing madly in all directions.  That usually gets rid of the cloud of bees 
trying to sting."

Heh, heh, and I thought I was the only person, who did that.  Works great, and gives me that lovely, smoky barbecue flavor.  Good thing my yard is not visible to the outside world - must look kind of strange.  Back in old Salem, MA days, I probably would have been burned as a witch/warlock, considering the attire, arcane tools and the activity of covering myself in smoke, which is clearly intended to summon demons.  BTW, I do the same thing with my cigar (blow smoke upwind, not summon demons) when bothered by mosquitoes, black flies, no-see-ums or deer flies.
