I like to use my Amazen smoking tubes when I'm cold smoking my monthly 120 pounds of bacon. I usually have pretty good results as is, leaving the MES chip tube out for the air draw. This month I picked a day that had absolutely no wind/breeze. I have 2 MES 40" smokers and have them side by side, one facing out, the other facing in. I put a small fan in the middle of them and was able to get enough wind into each smoker but just barely. While I was doing this, I started thinking how I could get something together that would give a nice smooth breeze. I had some 3" round ducting on hand and started thinking on how to use it. I came upon using a couple of small computer fans attached to the 3" tubing. I found them on Amazon that looked promising, and they were adapted to use 120v, instead of 12v. While I was waiting on delivery of the fans, I cut the tubing down to about 12" long, resulting in 2 lengths of tubing 12" long. When the fans arrived I cut 4 pieces of flexible aluminum sheet about 2" long and 1/2 wide. I measured the strips to the fans, and attached the fans to the metal strips after bending the strips to 90[sup]0[/sup] I then pop riveted the strips to one end of the tube. Plugged in the fan and it works! A nice soft breeze coming through the tube +. Tomorrow I'll test the fan tubes out with the AMAZEN tubes
