Has anyone tried the SmokinTex fan that they now sell on their site? SmokinTex Fan
It looks like it might be great for sausage, salmon,and jerky.

Looks mighty pricey to me.
If you wanted, you could cobble up one of your own. A twelve volt "muffin" fan and transformer (or go with a 110 volt fan and forget the transformer) from Radio Shack and a piece of stove pipe would do the trick. A filter ,if needed, could by made from a reuseable coffee filter of some kind. Pipe over the top hole, filter on the pipe, fan on the filter and bingo: one air moving device.
I'll bet the whole thing wouldn't run you more than twenty bucks if you can find a surplus fan. If not, it might run thirty.

I could make one out of a computer case fan, either run it off of 12vdc and or solar. I made a simular setup for my frige in my camper to circulate the air past the cooling fins. One of the cheapest MODS I did for maximum results.
Heck, you could mount the fan to an old tomatoe can, run the power leads and let-er-rip. If the fan fails toss it and buy a new one for 6 bucks.

Try your local Salvation Army store. Near me, they have a lot of old computers (think 486)which aren't much good except for parts.
I like the solar idea, you could probably run a CPU fan off the guts of one of those solar walkway lights.
or here I just found this for $66
Built-in solar cell and DC fan make the Solar Vent an easy solution to remove heat and odour in RVs,boats,garden sheds and outhouses.Installs in a 12 cm (4.75") diameter hole and comes on automatically,exhausting air upwards. Helps reduce condensation in boats too!
The Solar Vent moves air at 32 cfm's. Dimensions 17 x 9.5 x 17.5 CM (6.75" x 3.75" x 7")

No matter what I tried I have failed to find the thread that was started on this before. Maybe you will have better luck. You may learn more, that is why you asked yes?
If the company you work for has computers, ask your administrator if he/she has any spare case fans laying around. I believe the CPU fan would be too small. There's always Radio Shack.
Yep that is the one Smokin, 50 and dehydrate were not part of any of my searches.
I found it using "tex" and "fan" and only in the forum archives.
At least you tried, you get an Attaboy for trying.
