Wouldn't a couple of blocks of dry ice work just as well and be cheaper?

So long as the setup was temporary. I.E. a single set at concert.

it would be even beter if you would run the smoke thru the tube that would be submerged in the ice bucket. no need for pump and the smoke would have more time to cool down.. so you would get longer lasting smoke in the floor.
