Quoted: What kind of volume of smoke do they put out? I was considering buying one or two of the smokes. I dont want a fire call or search and rescue to come though. I imagine yellow smoke would be the least likely to attract undue attention? I would pop it on private property in eastern OR.
I guess for individual unit pricing he's right on the mark for a decent price.

His prices are pretty good. I'm paying the same price (but mine includes shipping.) Anyway....
As for the volume of smoke, they burn for about 35 to 40 seconds, and it is rather energetic. I set one off outside under somewhat windy conditions, so it blew around pretty quick. In less windy conditions, it may have produced a bigger plume.
As for the colors, I'd say that white or yellow would most likely attract the attention of fire observers if you are in the forest (resemblance to smoke from forest fires.) Real hard to say. Of the other colors, I think only orange is considered a "distress" color (maritime anyway) so maybe avoid setting one of those off casually. Again, there would have to be somebody in position to witness it and react to it. Not very likely. Of the remaining colors (green, violet, red) I wouldn't worry too much about those. The CS ones are white smoke only I believe. I personally wouldn't worry too much about it, but just use some common sense.
I bet they'd be a hoot at shoot though....
These do pose a fire danger, so don't throw them in dry grass. They also get very, very hot, so don't hold them in your hands. The fuze is about 1 sec or less, don't cook them off at all.
