Hello,
Recently I ordered all the parts to make a LinkMeterV4 with Raspberry Pi, the first of the parts orders came in today from DigiKey, which included the blower. I was quite disappointed when I got a look at the blower because this thing is tiny? I am wondering if this little blower is really going to be able to properly stoke the fire in my smoker or what? It's really tiny! (less than 3" square by 1" thick)
I had inquired here before about the required specs of the blower but didn't get any replies, so I am asking again for advice on the blower. First of all, what has been your experience with this tiny little blower that's on the parts list for this kit? Secondly, is this system capable of driving a larger blower, if so, what would be the basic specs the fan would need to have to work? Finally, has anyone had success using this little blower, if so, how large was the smoker you were stoking with it?
Any advice on choosing a blower or info about a larger blower you have used successfully would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
