No, at the farthest end of the smoke chamber, farthest from the fire box. See, my issue was there was too much heat in the smoke chamber closest to the fire box, and not enough heat at the end farthest from the fire box. I thought if I could draw some heat down with a fan, it would equalize...
Awaiting my moderated initial reply. And yes, a computer fan was in my reply.
That aside, do you guys think that a fan, opposite the fire box, would help in heat equality, and possibly a better smoke?
I was thinking of reversing it, or turning it around. The IDEA is to pull the heat and smoke from the fire box down to the far end and hopefully just circulate the heat & smoke causing, again, intheory, heat equality.
Has anyone ever placed a small fan in their smoking chamber opposite the fire box? To create more of a convection type smoker? Sine we smoke at low temps maybe the fan can handle it? It would not be like a stoker/BBQ Guru, just more of a way to move the heat & smoke around, possible causing a...

Thanks for the support guy's. Just to be clear what I did, if you look at the second picture in this thread, that is through the fire box looking into the smoke chamber. I simply raised the grat that you see, up, to allow more heat into the smoking chamber. I do have a baffle installed, but...
Ok All done with my spares.
1) I used the 3-2-1 method. Perfect.
2) I burned a whole basket of charcoal. Plus a split log. Plus some left over lump charcoal. All for a 6 hour burn. Is that much...normal? My area temp outside was, hmmm, 70-75 degrees maybe.
3) The far end opposite...
