The heat activated fan is a gentle blow and would do a good job moving smoke and equalize temperatures. Great idea.

Ahh. I now understand the question. I’ll have to try it. Thx for explanation.

I’m not Brian, but being nosy sort will interject an answer. I have two which I bought on line (Amazon I think). I use atop my wood stove to send heat around the room. They are silent and I never worry about turning them off.

Try Googling “heat activated fan”.

Well, beekeeper84, If I can win the Walton’s dehydrator I would consider the chile. At this point I just bought a roaster so the dryer is off the table for the moment. I’ve been roasting/freezing peppers of all sorts for my local community free lunches and dinners. We take farmers’ donated peppers, (mostly mild because this is North Carolina and they do not understand the beautiful effects of heat!) roast and freeze for later use in dishes for weekly (when we resume) meals. This save a lot of money when peppers are not in season around here.
