I've been using my mini WSM for years now with great results, but have recently started looking into some automatic temp control options. I have an old PID temperature controller I used to use for beer brewing, and I was wondering if I could repurpose it for my mini wsm? Basically instead of plugging in a heating element to control beer mash temperature, I would simply plug in a fan that is connected to my wsm vent. Is there any reason this wouldn't work? What is the best sized fan for a mini wsm? What about attachment to the vent? Attached is a photo of the wiring diagram used. Here is a link to the original build on a beer brewing forum:

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
