12 Volt Blower/Fan Recommendations

[Big Mike]

My sugar shack shack does not have electricity and I would like to add a blower or fan to my arch. Does anyone have a recommendation for blower or fan that can run off a 12 volt battery?

Big Mike, what size evaporator do you have?, As an evaporator gets bigger the blower does too.

Have you thought of putting a gas motor on a blower? A 12V won't run long hrs.

I have a 3x5 hobby evaporator. Thought about a gas generator but didn't want the constant noise.

But once you see what a difference the blower makes to the boil you won't even hear the generator.

I 100% agree

Get a inverter generator, preferably a honda EU 1000, or even a Honda EU 2200 companion, get a 100 ft cord and put the generator behind something. You won't even hear it , and they run 10 hrs on a gallon of gas.

I ran generators for 8 years, but never an inverter generator, 4 years on a 5500 watt gas and then 4 years on a 6000 watt diesel. I had mine 75' away and had a 4x8 plywood wall to minimize the noise. It helped a lot, but then I got grid power and that was a big plus.

Thanks for the advice. Looks like the generator is the way to go.
