Yeah, I'd never heard of that idea before either...

My machine is at your disposal if you want it. It is a well-worn
"Manhattan
Fogger Elite" fully-functional (if a little tatty!), with a single
pump/nozzle (no ducting), and a 1-litre fluid bottle (enough for several
hours of constant use). It has a remote-control socket, but I don't have a
remote for it. (It was always one of the things I meant to get around to!),
so operation is currently only by a single push-button on the back panel.
It
is thermostatically controlled, and so when left on constantly (as it
should
be), it cycles occasionally through a reheat time, during which it cannot
be
operated. Operational status is indicated by a pair of neons on the back
panel. (Red=power on, green=ready to smoke).

It's about the size of a sports hold-all bag, and has a carry handle on
top,
but I wouldn't suggest trying to hump it around by hand for any great
distance!
