Gonna have to order me one of these to try it out. Are they proportional?

No, that's the next exercise. How to make them proportional...

Well I just ordered 2 of them for $32 and change, I couldn't pass up the deal! I have a bunch of super smoker parts so when this comes in I'm going to work on making it proportional. But from what I see on yours it may put out enough that it'll look good even running.
$32!

Sometimes this whole conversion thing works GREAT!

Jack,
If your going to buy the IBU2 pro, it already converts a std smoker to proportional, happy days.

That will be for just that 1 tank so far. But that is good to know! It means I'll just run this smoker the way it comes.

I guess the greenbacks must be doing well again PLN too. I thought it was just against Cdn$.

As far as I can tell you just need to make the fan proportional. So if you have a HL proportional smoker already, you can just take the PCB with the motor contacts and the electronics and move it over for the fan only (not the element).

Here you go.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/361188639991?ru ... 26_rdc%3D1 I figure every smoker I've had so far has been plastic so there should be an issue. But now you have me worried, why do you ask?
