Fix a cheapo laser pointer to the vortex barrel for sighting the target..
With cold smoke and barrel mounted vertically you are at an advantage being
able to let the smoke stabilise in the barrel before triggering, for very
symetrical and stable and far reaching smoke rings


Smoke rings, you say?

Forget all these other ideas! Just get a man-lift and a cigar. Don't
have to go all the way "up to heaven", just far enough to get a nice big
fat smoke ring up to the detector.

I found a site that someone posted for a company out West. Their
product is actually made better than the 400.00 one and costs less
than 100.00 It comes with a 24 foot extension pole With that and me on
a ladder if necessary will do the job. Thanks to everyone who
responded for all your ideas and suggestions. iespecially liked the
hekicopter idea. It would be an interesting experiment to fasten a
spray can onto the helicopter take it up to the smoke detector and
have a servo depress the nozzle. Don't know if the people at the
church would appreciate the creativity of this though...Lenny
