Hi folks,
Has anyone out there made a neat and tidy way of venting the smoke from the top the box to the outside?
I run my bs in the garage and have probs with smoke getting in the house when the wind is wrong.
I have a very convenient hole in the wall I can run a dryer hose to. I"ve used electrical tape to hold it down but it looks kinda crude.

Although I have no need for indoor use of the Bradley here in Florida, it seems to me that as long you have something in place that creates a gentle draft, there is no need to make an air tight seal on the Bradley, i.e. perhaps a slow running fan at the point the exhaust vent reaches the outside. The smoke will naturally rise into the vent in a windless room into the exhaust tube, even if it is a couple of inches above the Bradley vent, so long as the exhaust tube is gently sucking. Think of it as a sort of vacuum cleaner.
Here's a post with some pictures of my setup in the garage. It might give you some ideas.

Thanks guys. You are right about the natural draft. Going along just nice in the garage right now with minimal smoke escaping.
This is despite being in the worst storm so far this year. Violent storm 11. Wind 80mph plus. All ferries and most flights cancelled.
