I am trying make my own cold smoke generator but have no reall good idea what to use for an air source. Does anyone have any ideas?

Your quest can take several paths depending upon how you build and use. What form of wood you plan to burn is a factor. A venturi type made by many utilizes an air pump from a fish tank or a bait well. I just use a firebrick burner and a long smoke pipe and a smoldering fire.

I am trying to make a suplemental cold smoke generator and have all I need but the air supply. And did not think that a fish tank air pump would give enough air.

Oldman,
Believe this old geezer, an aquarium pump works extremely well.
If you decide to buy one, get a model with 3 air velocity buttons.
I have owned such set up for years will no problems at all.
Email me if you need more info.
Cheers,
