So there was no problem with the bottom of the sticks getting hotter than the top? I want to do the fan mod soon to my Bradley.

I had a few lengths that were touching the V-Tray and the tips got a little black but I always cut the ends off anyway so no loss.  The fan really seems to keep the temp even between the top and bottom.  I was getting a 2 to 3 degree difference between the top and the bottom.  I started with the temp PID probe close to the bottom and the meat probe (not in the meat) at the top.  After 2 hours I noticed that the top was running about 10 degrees hotter than the bottom.  I then moved the temp probe thru the vent and hung it about 1 to 2 inches below the bell bar and moved the meat probe to just off the V-tray positioning it in the middle and close to the door.  The top and bottom balanced to stay within 2 to 3 degrees of each other through out the smoke.  I did not notice any scorch on the stix that were hanging in back close to the rear wall.  Getting ready to get them out of the fridge and cut for sealing and will look them over pretty good and report back.

All cut up and vac sealed.  I was very happy with the results.  No overcooked sticks on the back.  All came out very nice.


Had a few that were touching the V-Tray and got a little scorched.  Not a problem as I always trim off the ends as they are to dry.


All cut up.  Zip bag is pieces and parts that are for the big game tonight

Looks good. I pit the fan kit in my dbs4. I'm making sticks as I type. Why would you think I have such a big range in temp from top to bottom. About 20' or more at times. I have switched the probes around and they will read what the other was showing. I have the sticks in the racks not hanging. There is plenty of space between the sticks to circulate the air. The fan is blowing good. When the smoke was on I opened the door and smoke was blowing good
