fan to move air inside smoker box

[sparky30_06]

Was wondering if anyone has ever added a small vent or computer style fan to pull smoke out of the smoke box into the smoker chamber or move air around to help drying when making jerky.

Thoughts??

Here is a battery operated BBQ fan I found a while ago. http://www.bbqfans.com/products/Turboque-Convection-Grill-Fan.html

Sparky, with the items I linked to, you drill a hole in the smoker, mount the motor on the outside and the fan on the inside.... They have motor speed controllers to adjust the fan speed if needed...  I hate replacing batteries.....   nepas uses one similar to the ones listed.... look inside one of his many smokers he shows here and you can see the fan blade.... If nepas uses it, it has to be a good thing......  Dave
