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.


Enough ain't enough and too much is just about right.

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

Sailor

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.
