Ahh... the smoke test. Afro engineering at it's finest!

For realsies tho, you don't wanna do that. I could suggest about a dozen or so tools that'd help you track down the short, but I'm pretty sure you don't have any of them. The best advice is what you've already been told. Start unhooking things on that fuse circuit, and see if the shorting stops. It'll cost a few more spare fuses, but it'll let you find the wiring/component that has the short.
