All this time I was using the wrong heat source for my fogger

I spent three years building fog machines for Halloween, and I always used a propane burner because that's what the plans called for. At a party in Phoenix last month, a guy named Mark told me to try an electric hot plate instead because it gives more even heat. I was real skeptical, but after one test run I saw he was right - my fluid lasted twice as long. Have any of you switched away from propane and regretted it?

Mark from Phoenix was right about even heat but wrong about fluid economy. Propane actually gives better efficiency if your hot plate isn't sealed tight around the chamber.

Not sure we need a full efficiency debate over a hot plate.
