I went ahead and pulled the trigger on one of these this year. For the experiment, I just used a $12 tote with foam window sealer from the hardware store. The bilge vent pump managed to pull almost all escaping fog into the pipe so no real leaks. It was great. Just ran a couple small ~360W leftover foggers into the top. I was worried that because it was cold (32F) it would fail miserably. Absolutely not! It worked flawlessly, air was completely still, just freezing. Fog rolled from house to the street without dissipating (~60 ft on a ~4% grade). Worked so well I'm going to build a duplicate for the other half of the yard next year. Great fun.

I made one of these and used it in a horror film this past weekend (Labor Day 2024) and it worked great! I used a 20 gallon plastic tub, mister with floats, a fog machine I got off Craigslist, and a vent fan that plugs into an outlet. Instead of trying to do any wiring I only got components I could plug into standard 120v outlets and plugged them all into a single power strip. I put the fogger on top of a hill so the fog would roll down and into the shot and it worked perfectly. Completely filled the area we were shooting in and then continued down into town!

You sir are a legend for figuring this out. I've built several fog chillers with varying results but ultimately they were all a PIA due to the ice. I used an old cooler chest, 1300w fogger and froggy's bog fog with this method and I get insane amounts of low lying fog! Best part is being able to test and tweak anytime I want without needing to load ice each time. Very innovative and changed my setup for the better!

I've purchased all the gear for my setup this year. Can't wait to try it out in a few days! Thank you for sharing all the details. You've definitely put in the time/effort to perfect this setup. Thank you Robert!

[peterheynen]

It looks AWSOME! Here in Germany slowly people decorate there houses more and more for Halloween. For next year I will add a fooger with your suggestion to my haunt. Thank you very much for sharing.

[jasonbeavers]

Really love this setup, I’ve been fighting with my fog for years, constantly trying new things but this might be my setup for next year. Looks awesome, thanks for the video 👏🏻

[optech]

Thank you for your efforts. I used your ideas and tweaked to my customization.

[IndianaCharlie]

Great video. You did a great job. Isn’t it amazing how things come alive after dark

[Patrick-qnoq]

Nice job. I made one of these immediately after your first video went live. It’s been a game changer. Thanks for sharing!

I built a Robert's fogger based on your original video; but, I used a storage tote as I needed a larger surface for my Chauvet Hurricane 1302 1200w fogger to fit onto. I also bought a cheap 400w fogger from big lots as a secondary fogger and tested it on this setup. Even that little fogger has enough potential to successfully pull this effect off for the yard. My Hurricane 1302 inevitably ends up giving the whole block a fog effect. I really love this fog machine for its timer settings and large storage tank. I usually just run it somewhere around 1/3-1/2 output. At this setting the 1302 can do this constantly for 2-3 hours without intervention. Combined with a 4" inline duct fan you get a perfect and constant fog rate.

I really appreciate this design as a simple plug and play very mobile setup. I hadn't thought about using one of these wheeled tool boxes or totes and using a power distribution block to make it one cord. The 10 head pnd fogger I bought from amazon has a sealed weather proof powersupply that came with it. That thing get extremely hot. There is no way I would put it into a box. I'm looking for a sheet of aluminum to mount it to help sink the heat. It gets untouchably hot within a half hour.

How hot does that setup get in that weather resistant box you've got?

Try making your own fog juice. Most pre-made stuff is like 80% water and water doesn't fog well with these machines. I would do 1 part Vegetable Glycerin, one part Propelyne Glycol and 1 part water. You're gonna get MUCH thicker clouds with that mixture. There are a handful of other youtubers that do stuff like this too. That's how I found out about just making your own concoction for fog juice.

I ❤ this stuff, really want to learn how to make a mini version around my swimming pool with different colours LED light.. perfect for summer

[christopherobergas]

After using a combo of dry ice and ice blocks for my chiller I want to try this. I love the idea of having a no ice chiller.

[davidio]

This is awesome!!! Thank you for the breakdown. I’m building mine next year for sure💨💨💨💨

[Runnamuka]

so incredible as usual my friend! love how the fog just lingers for a while!

[OakLaneCemetery]

I think we've about got this thing figured out! Looking great!

[ExperienceExplorers]

This is amazing! the smoke looks so good!

[brianbonson]

Having seen it in person last Halloween, it is a really nice effect. Plus, no having to worry about filling with ice!

[PyroniousIndustries]

Great work as always. And a nice update to the original design. Thanks so much for sharing!

[haynerbass]

That shot back toward the house had a LOT of atmosphere to it. Well done!
