Job Interview Practice Test Why Do You Want This Job? Answer this job interview question to determine if you are prepared for a successful job interview. I'm not sure what it is your trying to achieve.Is your smoker not getting hot enough ??From my understanding, the stokers are controlled by a thermostat so if it needs heat, the fan comes on..If too hot the fan turns off and doesn't let ANY air in the firebox.. more. In your case when you turn the fan off the air is still gonna flow into the firebox as the vent is wide open and the air flows threw the fan blades.. I don't know. just confused.I am using manual control of my fan, on/off and four different rates of airflow (four voltages that will spin my fan at four different speeds producing four different airflow rates), while I am visually reading the thermometer that's mounted on my food chamber. . It's no different than a fancier $3.I stand there operating my manual controls.Plus, at my highest voltage I get more airflow than any of the ones I've read about - but, I do have a pretty large volume smoker/grill: 2.Please advise if I'm mistaken, but I don't see how any fancy version doesn't let any air into the firebox when as you say: "If too hot"? None have any valves or vanes that close off the air intake, and they all do exactly what mine does when I turn it off (stop the fan, and yes air can flow through any fan's blades when it's idle). What I'm trying to accomplish is get back up to temperature more quickly after opening the firebox to add wood, or opening the food chamber to mop, turn, rearrange food. That this step is manually controlled by me is fine for now, since I had to be there to open the door(s) anyway. More importantly, if I can't make this manual process work on my smoker/grill, then there's no way a fancier automatic one will work either. BTW, building an automatic control circuit isn't particularly hard, it's just not necessary at this point. I need to experiment more, and in particular with lower rates of airflow, before I can determine if forced air will allow dynamic control of my smoker/grill. What our customers are saying: WOW! I am impressed! I called to place my order and real person answered, spoke perfect English, albeit a slight southern accent, and my order was sent within a day, shipped quickly and I had it a few days later. I saved over a hundred dollars over local and installed it my self.I cant imagine how that they could do any better.THANKS! Eric. Cedar Springs, MI. .
