Default RE: Idea For The Smoker

KT,
I would set it up then measure the current flow through the various stages before I really got on it. I assume you'll have to pick either the left or right side channel. I believe the HL smoker is not unidirectional like my fan system so you should get smoke output in both forward and reverse.

I don't believe it will work because the HL smoker puts out little if any smoke below 6V. At slow-med speed and at idle you will have no smoke. When you are wide open you will have smoke. I could be wrong.

[sm=idea.gif]Here's an idea. Before you jeapordize your ElMod's I would hook up your smoker to a motor channel on your HL board but disconnect the motor. That way you wont blow the board and you can get an easy idea of the smoke output at various speeds.
