So, while sitting in a hotel room last week (not a Holiday Inn Express, but a Residence Inn, close) during my weekly road trip, watching youtube bee videos (it gets boring at night), I saw several videos on the use of a propane mosquito fogger to treat for varroa. Looked like an efficient and effective method to administer the OA, and on impulse (a common problem for me in hotel rooms), I ordered a fogger.  Hoping to start treatment next weekend, after pulling supers.  

Before I go ahead and do ANOTHER stupid human trick (after all, it does involve squirting ethanol onto a cherry red heating coil), does anyone have any experience/recommendations/tips for using one of these insect foggers to deliver OA?  I also have a vaporizer, which would be my fallback, if the advice is "Don't do it!"

Thanks in advance,
