I've heard in the past that using Silica sand can have adverse health consequences, is that correct?Clover Ridge Smokers wrote:You definitely have a big enough compressor. I would go with CHEAP silica sand. My pot has 3 valves on it. One on the air inlet which I keep wide open. Another that in a hose that runs from the top of the air inlet down to the bottom of the tank down to the bottom of the tank and connects to the blast hose, leave it wide open. The third is on the bottom of the tank and it also hooks in to the blast hose. This is the one that I adjust to control how much sand I'm shooting. I have this one only open 25% or less.
Let me know if this helps.
