Default glow engine smoker..is it a feasable thing?

I have a glow radial engine and am wondering if it is feasable to have a smoker. I know glow engines run cooler, and I could put the nipple two places: on the main dump outlet on the bottom of the ring or next to the head on the exhaust stack, My fuse is in the stage where I must decide before I proceed.

One fellow added a smoker to a Super Tigre 2 stroke. It seemed that the muffler wasn't getting hot enough to make any significant amount of smoke. Guessing that your radial is a 4 stroke which should have a somewhat hotter exhaust. which should help with smoke.

Run some brass tubing around the part of the motor that get hottest to run your smoke oil through before it goes into the exhaust.
