Those put out a LOT of smoke and the sensors are quite sensitive. Unless I could release it into a very large volume, it would likely rail the sensor. Plus how do I control it? Seal it in the environment and set it off with a fuze? That is, in effect, what I'm looking for, but several orders of magnitude less smoke.
For example, frying a nylon coated 41G copper wire 1" long inside of a 5 gallon bucket overwhelmed the sensor!
They sell a liquid smoke generator for the toy train market. That looks like a reasonable idea--maybe it's just propylene glycol as Phil Bavaro suggested. But I need some kind of crucible to heat that up in. If anyone knows of a micro crucible with attached heater, which isn't expensive, that would probably do it.

My vote would be for Tom's suggestion. There are also some "smoke generator" products that are used to find air leaks/drafts around windows and doors that may work for Wayne's application.
