Ya gotta be kidding me

My belated Christmas gift arrived yesterday.  It is the fan conversion kit.  I planned to install the fan this morning so I can do some more nuts today.  I gets everything all lined up and get the templete all lined up and center punched.  Go to the garage to get my drill and it is dead.  I guess the last time I used it was over a year ago  :o So it is on the charger and now I have to wait before I can do anything else.  Sure was hoping to be smoking by noon but don't look like that will be happening.

Yep,  I know what happens when you don't drill straight too.  Got to make a bigger hole  :o

Went to the neighbors and got his drill.  It took me 3 different installs to get the shaft from touching my holes.  It is a bit noisy and not as quite as I thought it would be.  I could still be hitting the hole with the shaft.  Will put some nuts in and see how it goes. I forgot how sharp metal is.  Two cuts and we are good to go.

Loosen the box in the back , move it around and see if you can eliminate the rubbing of the shaft on the body.

Yep, Did that and seems to be OK now.  I am very impressed so far.  I just did a test before putting my almonds in.  Put a probe in the back of the cabinet and one in the front.  Used to be a 25 to 30 degree difference.  She is running about 5 to 10 degrees difference.  That his going to be huge.  I am hoping I will not have to rotate the racks.  Will be keeping an eye on this smoke.

I drilled one BIG WHOLE!

Mine is not that noisy, it might be rubbing on the sides.

Sailor if you don't mind me asking I was wondering where you purchased your fan mod at? Have been interested in doing it to my 4 rack OBS for awhile now but didn't know where to purchase the mod. Thanks in advance

I gave my daughters this web address and they ordered it for me.  http://smokeandstuff.com/index.php/products/complete-fan-kit.  Lot's of guys have ordered parts from Granger and made their own.  The kit has every thing that you need to do the mod.
