Hello List...
We're going to use an M3A4 smoke generator that was generously donated
to our group (thanks, George!) for an upcoming re-enactment event. I
fired it up yesterday on the very first try and it made gobs of smoke,
filling the neighborhood before I could shut it off. Here's a picture
my wife took of my second test firing (my Suburban is completely
obscured behind the smoke on the left side of the photo):

I'm wondering if anyone has ever tried using vegetable oil (peanut,
corn, canola, soy bean, etc.) for the fog oil instead of SGF2 (which
is 10-weight light petroleum oil, mixed with kerosene to lower the
viscosity if needed in cold weather).
