Paul in North Lincs 15 Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Mine is an adapted leave blower.......................the funel was removed, and a flexi shower pipe encasulated in a rubber hose allows for it to be probed into ther holes with ease.............when I pick up my ubs lead from my works pc in a couple of days I'll post you some pictures........................very very effective with a thick mix that really smokes...................dont over do it on the oil thoug as too much smoke can blur the terriers vision...this thing fills a bury in seconds!

Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Get down to ye friendly, local 'Lawn Mower Repair' man, mate. In the season he'll be chucking out at least one 'Clapped out' small engine a week. Strimmers, Blowers, Chain Saws, the lot. He'll be happy to have you take them away for him Quote Link to post
strixaluco 0 Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Just got myself a leaf blower to make a smoker,was thinking on the lines of incorperating the exaust into the blower part so it would blast the fumes into the holes? dont know if it would be any better or not but i would like to see the pics of yours if you dont mind.
