    As I recall, this was suggested by someone on PL some time back. It's worked for me. Heating chems on the stove sounds dangerous...

    If you warm up a pan and drop a little fog juice in it, you will get lots of smoke that won't choke you. If you don't have fog juice you can use antifreeze but be warned that antifreeze is quite toxic.

    Engine coolant (antifreeze) and water works well, most commercial fog fluid is now glycol based.

    Might be wrong here (it's a long time since I was at school), but isn't antifreeze Di-Ethylene Glycol?, isn't that poisonous?

    I think hazers use Tri-Ethylene Glycol which I think is slightly better

    Here's the data sheet for the fluid I use in my Unique 2 hazer...

    There again I could be completely wrong about all this and talking completely out of my ****

    No, you are correct, I've just wikki'd it, it has a low acute toxicity by ingestion, so better safe than sorry (makes me reflect on my former 18 years as a vehicle tech, working in clouds of the stuff!).
    Best to just stick to the glycerin brew or buy commercial fog fluid.

    My chemistry knowledge flooding back here:
    Anti-freeze = Ethane 1,2-Diol
    Made from the hydrolysis of epoxy-ethane, which is very reactive with water or air. Also it's highly carcinogenic. (the epoxy-ethane that is)
