    Try some pool chlorine and fertilizer mixed loosely into a 5 gal pail. Do not combine until out side away from trees and flammable shrubbery. Stir well until you notice it to start to bubble and then step back quickly (up wind too.) This will smoke well. "For as long as I can remember, I have had memories. Colin Mochrie."

    Any particular flavor of fertilizer you prefer? Ammonium Sulphate, Ammonium Nitrate, Urea, Diammonium Phosphate, Ammonium Polyphosphate, Muriate of Potash, Magnesium Sulphate, metallic chelates, bone meal....

      There are better uses for pool shock. Calcium hypoclorite + sutff + magic -> sodium clorate. Sodium clorate + stuff = BANG.

      Potassium Chlorate is far more effective.:-D

        Honestly, I was just providing a warning to keep it loose. I am not responsible for what relatives do. However, It does kill fire ants very well, if you spread it quickly enough. "For as long as I can remember, I have had memories. Colin Mochrie."

            I suspect that 20 years ago Scott's used ammonium nitrate like everyone else. Since the OK City bombing that's been awfully hard to get, now that the whole world knows that's what you use to make safety dynamite. Of course, I still have about 20 lbs of it I found in Mom's garage... Nothing better for a green lawn than a good double nitrate like that! Makes the whole yard as green as the spots above the septic tank.:-D

                    Have you tried chlorex mixed with sugar? It burns quite fast and produces a lot of smoke and gas, ninja style!
