cheap exhaust fan

[kiwiboy]

Well, If you are like me and don't have enough money for a centrifugal exhaust fan.
Then a good cheap alternative is a kitchen rangehood extractor fan.

That is what I have done. And it is pulling air through my big ass DIY carbon filter satisfactory.

Carbon is 900mm long x 250mm round with 20kgs of carbon.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention the built in speed controller. Does come in handy for those super hot days or those super cold days.

This is my one. I just removed what I did not want on it. I also add a thermostat to it to maintain the correct temperture.
