Its quite common mod. Buy a 25mm fan for half a pound and replace the pump.43rdRecceReg wrote:A quite ingenious modding of the standard HL smoker.That hideous characteristic clanking sound the HL pump makes, can ruin the initial impact of all the tanks it lurks in
. The Start up sound: Promising. Then...the clanking begins. I'm sure it could be used instead of waterboarding as a form of torment, or torture. You seem to have found a perfect solution to the problem, although we now have Tarr models out there to ease the anguish of that HL noise nuisance.
Presumably, all you have there is a small heating element, a reservoir, and the fan. Very simple.Perhaps you could post the mod for the general behoof; I'm sure many would like to avail themselves of it, if it works consistently without unwanted side-effects (small electronically generated fires, burnouts, etc..)
Congratulations on your tastefully configured website, by the way. It was wee feast for the ageing peepers.

I'd like to introduce you to an RC tanker that's taught me quite a bit about the subject. Have you heard of Stormin' Normand, The King of Smoke? As long as you've been around I'd be surprised if you haven't, but I'll proceed as though you never heard of him, K? You obviously have the talent, Nic, I really think that you need to check out this thread. I think it may take you to whole new places. I'll post the video here, but the thread has pretty much complete assembly info. Might give you some ideas. Just the name, "Acoustic Smoker" kind of piques the curiosity if you're not familiar with it, don't ya think? And you don't have to be registered at RCU to read the thread, only if you want to ask questions. In case you're already registered at RCU, my user name there is Crius.

I've messed about a bit myself, and put a better resistor and a fan in addition to the pump in my Jagdpanther. You've probably seen this tank before, eh?
