I learned about heavy smoke in blowers in an interesting way; I needed a furnace unit to be the air conditioning blower for my shop (don't need heat in Texas), and I got an old 3-ton one from a friend's dad who had used it for 40 years and smoked constantly.
It was pretty nasty, so set it outside and hooked up the blower motor to AC. Then I sprayed wanter and detergent into it with one of those car wash sprayer things. (don't try this at home) The cloud of brown fog that erupted from the top of the unit and rained down on everything within 15 feet put an end to any desire I may have had to use that thing! The more I sprayed, the more gunk came out, there was no end. From: "John T. M.
