Fog Chiller Tutorial! Here's how to get that thick, low fog out of a cheap fog machine! Followed a video from @impossiblescience to make this! Directions from Cory: 1. Measure and cut holes on both sides of your cooler. (2 to 3 inches off the bottom) I just traced the pipe with a marker 2.  We used two 2x4's in the base of the cooler and put wire mesh on top of them to hold ice and cover holes. 3. Next insert your aluminum flex ductwork and fill with ice. 4. Fire up your smoke machine and aim it into the ductwork for a spooky low lying fog effect. #fogmachine #smokemachine #halloweenparty #halloweenideas #halloweendiy
