I'm not just blowing hot air either!....I design and install industrial ovens bigger than most suburban homes!
Ok, one last question:
On the 2 TC's on the intake tubes, how did you get the tips of the TC's inside the tubes and into the airflow? It almost looks on the passenger side as if the tip of the TC is sticking OUT/AWAY from the plastic tube.
