An absolutely great tutorial. Thank you for your assistance again. Is that a modified HL smoker in the picture above?

Honestly i love it! You have set-up your own Research and Development for taking a cheap smoker to the highest level! What an impressive collection of plumes :-) ingenious

Kommandant-
The smoke units work fantastically with the modifications. So simple that it's hard to understand why the manufacturer didn't use this. Brilliant work, Norm.

tanker 242, I have been cutting out the mini fan that comes with the Taigen 2.4Ghz MFUs and they work perfect. I hated them on the MFU, so I just snip them at the end of the connection and pray them right off. Drill the hole on the smoker and just hot glue them on. Works great. Did three of them already.
