- There are several low tech possibilities in the incense section of
- a store that carries such things. I would try a punk stick first.
- If your wind is low enough it doesn't fan the stick into flame it
- would give a single localized stream of smoke that is relatively
- easy to move from one place to another. And the turbulence from
- the stick should settle out in a reasonably short distance.
