Hi Dick;
Yes , a small fan as Byron suggests but I suggest you place it in such a 
way to "draw" the smoke away rather than blow it.
Blowing on the work (Pyrography ) and the the point/nib can cool the 
point/nib and make your attempt at drawing lines of consistent width and 
colour difficult.

As for sniggling...well everyone knows you gotta have eels to go sniggling.(G)
