Generally, one part of smoke to two or more parts of air volume provides satisfactory results. #1A and #2B smoke candles are recommended for checking air flow units such as exhaust fans and Smoke Pellets are recommended for smaller applications such as exhaust hoods and ductwork. Larger 3C, W3C, and Specialty Smoke Generators can be used for very large applications. Please call us for assistance in selecting the correct smoke product.
