Good day all. I wanted to put together a DIY jerky drier for my 3.5D. I had some parts laying around so I hacked this gem together.
I mounted a DC power supply and a PWM controller on top of a blower fan. The fan sits atop a soup can that will sit over the exhaust port. I will be drilling the proper size hole in the bottom of the can to fit the smoker exhaust port.
I am going to use JB Weld or perhaps just silicon RTV to secure the fan to the soup can and use magnets to hold it down over the smoker exhaust hole.
I got the incorrect fan for PWM use so I added a diode and capacitor to make it work. Not great speed control now but it will be sufficient. Replacing the fan with one that will accept PWM control will be a future update.
