smoke oil

Don't know if this will help but have you ever been to a disco and seen / smelled / chocked on the smoke machine 'smoke'. If they use the same oil it is around 3 quid a litre. See

Gooigling will find other suppliers.

And smoke liquid for disco use usually comes in a choice of flavours, though I've yet to see it in "welsh steam coal"

Try

and search for "smoke fluid", that should give you a choice:-). A friend of mine uses it in model trains and it appears to produce visually the same effect as the stuff sold in tiny containers.

Try Johnsons Baby Oil.

When we generated smoke for wind tunnel work we used Shell Ondina. If I remember it is a non toxic oil used for lubricating food machinery. Reasonable smell. Hope that helps a bit.

Many thanks for all the suggestions.
