Default Smoke Fluid - Home Brew

Hey fella's i just purchased a gallon of smoke fluid. The cost was a ridiculous amount of $24. I could be wrong but that seems very high to me. I have not purchased any for quite some time though. This has been kicked around before but it has been a long time ago. There are some home brew recipes out there. Any one know what they are?

My buddy and I use transmission fluid and kerosene, a 50/50 mix. Makes good smoke but not a lot of hang time on a windy day. Still, it works well and is cheap. Get the tranny fluid free at a repair shop; kero is about $4.20 a gallon at the local SpeedWay...
