What could I use for a smoke machine to calm my bees while I try to move the hive?

Three options. One, get my wife to make a meatloaf for you (plenty of smoke, but it may be toxic). Two, see the recent thread on sausages (may consume a lot of mustard in the process). Three, smokers are fairly cheap:
Beekeeping Supplies Protective Clothing Beekeeping Equipment

My guess is that 3 may be the most effective option if you expect to do this more than once. :)
