1). Fan blower, 8 inch like the one in your bathroom, for about $54 purchased from amazon.
2)..33 gallon plastic trash can $25
3). 1000 watt bucket heater from Biomedical.com $70
4.) Cut out an 8 inch hole under the first handle with a jigsaw insert the fan with the cord on the inside pointing up toward the lid area.
5.) attach the bucket heater on the inside adjacent to the blower at the bottom of the can resting on the hump , tighten the bucket heater. With two drilled holes attach heater with cable tie just under the yellow sign on the heater.
6.) You will need 11 inches of water in the can at least 2 inches over the heater shield.
7.) You can add a basket (Fred Meyers has a basket that will fit inside between the blower and the heater, so that when it is lowered into the boiling water) inside or you can cut an opening about 5 inch x 5 inch depending on the size of your scoop, above the right or left of the heater, and scoop the dry ice.
8.) you can duct tape the cord from the blower under the lip of the can to the other handle and put the rest of the cord down the handle.
9.) The heater cord will becoming up from inside the can so you can cut a notch in the lip for the cord then put down into the handle with the blower cord 10.) tape the cords together . 11.) plug into a surge protector. 12.) put on lid and enjoy -
I will post the schematics shortly, thank you for your interest.

Super cool, man! So, do you offer the schematics on how to build this device? Nice output, by the way! Would work great for a movie effect I'd like to make. That's how I found your video. I'm probably 15 of your views...lol! If you even would, maybe let me know what equipment you used (i.e. fan/blower, trash can, basket type/style?) and some pics of the final device. Awesome if you can, understand if you can't. Either way, thanks for sharing! Take care, now...
