Know before you buy
The fan features a snap-on design compatible with most smokers that have a venting hole up to 1.85 inches in diameter. If your smoker does not support the snap-on mount, the flange dimensions are 2.0 x 2.5 inches, allowing for alternative mounting options.
The integrated shutter is designed to block unwanted drafts when the fan is not actively running. This helps maintain your smoker's internal temperature and prevents airflow fluctuations that could affect your cook.
Yes, the blower requires a 12 VDC power source to operate. It uses a standard 5.5 mm OD and 2.5 mm ID connector, which is compatible with typical AC adapters used for temperature control systems.
The included silicone gasket creates a secure, airtight seal between the fan and your smoker. This prevents air leaks, ensuring that all 20 CFM of airflow is directed into the firebox for precise temperature regulation.
A 20 CFM rating provides a consistent and powerful airflow suitable for most standard backyard smokers. It is specifically calibrated to help your FireBoard controller make micro-adjustments to maintain steady heat throughout long smoking sessions.
