Hi folks! How have you solved the type of a fan while flue curing? I burned/melted three normal batroom fans, they can't take the heat.
My first one lasted one season(a good one!!), flue curing plus fermenting. The other two were blown in about a week...Any suggestions?

I have purchased the cheapest, metal bathroom ventilation fan available at a local home-improvement store. They seem to not do well at lower speeds (with a fan speed control), but otherwise, the only casualty has been a plastic air diverter that I added to direct the blown air upward.
