wow sir francis..!!! very nice job...
that is the smokiest smoker i've seen so far...! i too have been messing with the hl smoker and also binned the noisy motor..i used a 20mm fan which all works ok but am using the original hl filament which is gauranteed to blow v.soon. i'd be very interestaed to see/ hear more about the filament you've used...did you need to take into account the power it uses for a bigger filament..? i know nothing about electrinics so this is whats holding me back..!
p.s.would a hl proportional board work with this homemade setup..?
good stuff mate...
