Halloween Prop Help: Smoking Cauldron Candy Bowl?

Aug 16, 2007 by | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)

I've searched the net far and off the target and haven't come up with anything satisfactory.

I want the ToTs to reach into a smoky cauldron of candy. However, all cauldrons that aggregate b regain with smoking machines already included are too small.

I want to have a cauldron wide and deep enough to have a smoking mechanism (or dry ice) at the bottom, and a colander/sieve filled with sweetmeats hanging from the lip.

Using a fog machine would require fog juice, and I don't want to expose the kids and bon-bons to that.

Using dry ice would be ideal, but most cauldrons are made of cheapy plastic that i'm sure would freeze and crumble with the distant cold that dry ice delivers. Unless I kept the dry ice in a separate bowl at the bottom of the cauldron? Still, what can I use that won't fall apart or confuse?

How can I achieve this prop while protecting the prop itself, the candy, the children, and myself?

Smoke AND lights would be preferable, but if it's too risky then I can do without.
P.S. I will be posting this in the Halloween section too,

P.S.S. I am not aproposed in building this prop from the bottom up. Any suggestions are welcome. I have access to lots of tools and I am certainly handy, creative, and determined.
I would want to have the candy high enough not to freeze the candy or endanger the children of frost sting.
If dry ice is too dangerous, what alternative method do you suggest. Or if dry ice could be used, how could it be done safely. i.e. no frost bite and burn.
Oooh, dutch oven. That's a noble idea Chris. I was thinking, I could cut out the bottom of my cauldron, and nestle it on top. I could have one of those expandable veggie basket steamer things on the lip of the cauldron and put the bon-bons on top of that. What to you guys think? Will the smoke actually reach the top?

I see there will be a lot of trial and error here..

Commandeer a "dutch oven", as it is cast iron and will be able to withstand extreme coldness. If you plan on using it for anything else later on, you will still want a barrier between the dry ice/water and pot.

You will also want to separate the candy and children's hands from the dry ice/distilled water mixture as touching dry ice can "burn" you. You can use either chicken wire or a thin plywood sheet with holes to let the gas outflow and keep the candy/fingers from getting too close to the dry ice.

Dutch ovens also come in many sizes, and usually with a worthy heavy lid, so if you want to "prime" it before kids begin to show up, you can put the lid on to trap the gases prearranged!
