[SML] Sal Ammoniac smoke

[sdwheaton]

This is the cone heater,http://www.processheating.com/index.php?page=Coneheater2
The trouble with Sal Ammoniac is that if you overheat it you get hydrochloric acid in gas form. Which is pretty hard on lungs and stuff.
There are ways to get it, Chem lab supply catalogs are one way,   you don't need much for a bit of haze.

Since childhood, I have read about using Sal Ammoniac in a Heating Cone to make theatrical smoke.  However, I have never seen this done, nor even seen what such a heating cone looks like.  A search for a "heating cone" shows up some cone-shaped systems which you use to heat a bearing (I am guessing to expand it a bit, to put onto a shaft).  Is that the sort of "heating cone" used for smoke?
A search on Youtube also turned up nothing except how to clean your soldering iron.   I also searched "ammonium chloride", since that seems to be the same stuff. But, again without success.
Anyone know of a site that shows a picture, or ideally a video of such a contraption in operation?
