BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Heat retention? I live in North Dakota, so lets start there. 
I have a 45KBTU NG heater and some nights it barely keeps up. I have a 3 car garage with 12' ceilings so in hindsight, I should have went with a 75KBTU model.
How I control this is by turning down the speed control and directing the smoke through the snorkel attachment (thx for the idea @Jfire). This still allows the smoke to be evacuated plus the garage is naturally drafty, so I don't have to open a window to feed it with fresh air. I have a CO detector so I know that I am not bringing in the exhaust from the heater back in the garage either.
When I am not using the snorkel attachment, I crank up the cfms and open the window a titch on the opposite side of the garage to get a good cross breeze.
Hope this helps!

Been away from BOTL for a while and part of the reason (excuses yaya) is because we moved to a new house in Minnesota.
With that comes the need for a new winter garage smoking solution. This time around, I decided to go with a less permanent solution so I thought I'd share.
Basically I crack the door 3.5" and I'm in business! Same fan I had in Minot as i was happy with it. 8" flexible duct, a couple clamps and a duct transition. Works pretty well.
