That's a great video Oldsguy, not yours though?

Thanks Homestead, I'll be waiting. =)

OK, here is a parts list with item nuber and prices from Lowes. I dont think I forgot anything but just in case I did.....very sorry I am! If anyone tries this and has any questions please feel free to ask. The wife is throwing a pool party next week (yes, you are all invited) and I am hoping to get my hands on some leftover ice so I can get some fog video. Anyway, here are the parts:

2-3" PVC Cleanout Adapters Lowes #23303 $2.67
1-90 degree Elbow Lowes #23354 $2.37
1-3"x5' S40 PVC Pipe Lowes# 23837 $4.47
1-3" PVC Coupling Lowes #23283 $1.18
1-2'x8' Diamond Mesh Lath/Lathe My store does not carry, about $8.75
4-3/4" PVC Elbows Lowes #23868 $0.29
1-3/4" PVC Cross Lowes# 24087 $1.73
1-10' 3/4" PVC S40 Lowes# 23971 $2.14

I used a Brute Trashcan because they dont lose there shape when filled with ice but I am sure and sturdy trashcan will work just fine. A 32G Brute is about $28 and a 44G will run you closer to $40. I used a 44G for mine.

"Froggy's swamp juice"?

Where do I get some og that?

FroggysFog.com is a good place to start.

I built mine last year using a 55 gal drum and it works great. by far the best chiller design I have come across. i put 80lbs of ice in mine and it lasts all night. this year I am going to use dry ice and see if it makes a big difference over the regular ice. here is a pic of mine

Florida, what does the inside look like? I love the look of the outside!

thanks! I painted it to blend in to my haunt so I can have it right in plain sight. here are some pics of inside.

Looks very similar to mine. Great minds! I see you used egg crate for the ice rack. I thought about that but was worried about it not supporting the weight of the ice but I see you increased the supports on the outsides. Looks great!

I was listening to hauntcast, and one of the episodes, one of the guys from froggy's fog said to go ahead and mist your lawn to get the grass nice and wet and cold. This will help keep the fog cold, and give it something to stick too.

he also talks about changing the temp of the fog machine.

It also has a reminder to use good fog juice. i had noticed some from china having antifreeze in them.

I have never heard of misting your lawn but I will have to give it a try. And you are right about using good fog juice!
