[SML] Sal Ammoniac smoke

[Illuminati500]

When i was a beginner in the 60’s,  Strand used to make special smoke boxes for this purpose. Very smelly, quite acrid. The alternative was the Dendy smoke gun which tended to shoot plumes of hot oil.

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?
