I am trying to chase down drafts in my house and would like to get
advice on the best way to detect air leaks. I have seen the following
suggestions and/or products on the net and would like to get feedback
from real world experience:

So far, I have seen the following:
1. Packaged "smoke" -- watch the smoke below
2. Use a candle -- watch the flame blow
3. Build a contraption with a paper clip, an eye dropper, and some
plastic tubing - supposedly it amplifies the sound of an air leak but
the details of how to use it were sketchy
4. Suspend a 5"x10" strip of cellophane or plastic bag from a pencil and
watch it blow
5. Buy a B&D thermal detector (about $50) - but not sure if a device at
that price is any good and the more expensive pro devices are
probably not worth it for my limited use
6. Other ideas???

So, what do all you experts out there recommend based on your personal
and/or professional experiences?

Thanks
