Fog: Chiller and toxic waste/biohazard prop

upNsmoke · #1 (**permalink**) 10-26-2008, 12:31 PM

Last year was my first year decorating for Halloween and a few weeks ago I found this site and have been inspired to improve this year. I've never had a fogger or anything like that so I went out and got one and decided to build my first chiller/prop. It's not complete yet but this is what I have done so far today and what I used and the cost.

55 gal plastic drum - $5 from Craigslist
25ft 4 inch solid corrugated hose - $5 Lowes on sale
(2) 18 inch flexible mating sections for the 4 inch hose - around $2.50 each at Menards.
(2) cans of off brand great stuff - Menards on sale 2 for $5

Ok I completed and got a test video of it in action but with NO ICE and some wind so I put it on the deck. I would rather it be a black barrel, but oh well I could always paint it some other time.

Nice job! Curious.. why not pick up some black spray paint real fast... and paint it.. even if it's only on one side (er.. facing rounded area)? I think I agree with you with black.. be a little better for halloween/night show. When I saw your video, I figured you must not have ice because it was drifting up.. that and the wind. I look forward to seeing it in action with ice and hopefully no wind!

Yea I was wondering if anyone would catch that. It did sound kinda hick after I posted it and re read it. Just didn't think it would be a fellow Texan that would say something...LoL

Holy **** I am sold!!! $10 bucks that is a steal. I might see if the city wants to buy the ones I made they are using and make some profit of them and remake some with these. Those are also right in our neck of the woods.

Only thing I wonder about is does that lid pop off? I know it has two inlets at the top but it would kind of hard to build anything inside if those lids don't come off.
