Excellent work haunt work grumpy. 

DUDE I've seen alot of fog chiller vids but that is the best one I've ever seen hands down!  I can't tell, is that your vid?  Mine works good, but that was awesome!  Was the dry ice mix the key?

Nice fog chiller, would you happen to have instructions or a writeup on how you build them? The fog chiller as well as the cover for the fog chiller.

Thanks

Depending on how much you want to spend;there is a option of losing the fog machine totally.
Have a trash can of just dry ice, and have a crock pot or something similar keeping some water warm and have a pump sucking the warm water up and spraying the warm water onto the dry ice. A face is then turned on and off to suck the fog out and blow it. Its how theaters do it;they do not use fog machines. Now concerts do use a standard fog machine.

I have a cheap fogger I bought a couple of years ago at home depot....I don't think it has a timer option on it (need to dig it out), so I am interested in how people might be modifying their fogger for control.

I had read about using ice to cool it down to keep the fog low, so I'm looking forward to trying that. The article I read was using corrugated drain pipe with the holes in it and dropping frozen water bottles in there so as the fogger sprayed fog through the pipe it cooled and spread over a wider distance then out the holes.....sounded interesting.

I like the cooler idea, seems like the ice would last longer....I'll have to check out some of the videos tonight.

My design is different than that one. I also have a blower to suck and blow the fog out.

It is taking all the fibers of my being from turning this thread into something it shouldn't.  ;D

Is this where the peanut gallery sits and waits for a response to the sucking and blowing of the fog machine?
