Hullo,

I was wondering if anyone here knew of a material that was relativily inexpensive, possible to be bought by civilians. It would be able to withstand temperatures of about a firework/cracker/smoke grenade. Specifically one of these: http://www.evhill.com/products/White_Smoke.htm

But not o nly withstand the temperatures, but not be able to transfer it. The reason I need such a material, is that our wargames call for smoke alot of times, but we simply cannot provide it due to living in Texas, and have unusually dry land 99% of the time. If we could have a container for the smoke, and drill holes to let the smoke out, but keep the head in, and not burn our field, that would be great.

I would put a thick cement pot in a pail of moist sand and cover it with several layers of screen on the top. That would keep the temperature away from the surroundings and prevent sparks from popping out. Of course making smoke in the middle of a dry area will attract the authorities anyway. The above would be similar to what home based foundries do.
