I added a fan under the recomendations of your previous posts.  ordered it from graingers. had to extend the drive spindle it was too short to extend through the wall of the bradley . but use it every time I smoke . have a lot less over cooking near the back where the element is  . I AM GLAD I INSTALLED MINE

had to snip 1 wire from the center of each rack on both sides to keep from touching the spinning blade (INSTALL ERROR ON  MY PART LOL )

have currently starting using my old converted freezer again. installed it in the garage ,vented the smoke outside, use the bradley to generate the smoke . Have a 1650 watt element from my original brinkman and my digital ts I built , installing a fan soon in that .........  just dont get the results I desire on my Venison summer sausage and snack sticks unless I hang them . My bradley I laid them on the racks and rotated

I put one in as well.  Also goofed on locating.  Had to take a notch out of one rack for the bottom slot as the fan is right there.  Am going to see about possibly having a custom made rack just for the bottom as the notch weakened the rack considerably.  Either that or relocate the fan.  Thats what I get for not paying attention to details.              Dick

Well, it is true the road to hell is paved with good intentions.  I plan on installing fans in both of mine.  Just haven't had time to do it yet!

Gary I opened up a private thread concerning this item and it is now public on the recipe site. Unlike the recipes that cannot be posted to I have this thread open and you if you post your questions/ thoughts there then others will be able to learn from you as well.
