I think the key is to fuel your fire with as much oxygen as possible. Warmer air might be a plus if you could do it without adding C02 that is already burnt. Leader forced draft adds cold air. The Hurricane uses air from inside the arch and inturn reburns the unburnt gases. Keep in mind that your blower may have a thermal switch built into it so the warmer it ges the more it might just shut off. Nothing is more frustrating then not having a blower work when you need to draw syrup
