smoking room ventilation

[Volt]

OK, the search gods were nice to me today. The brand to look for is Csonskas. Search this word on the forum ansd see the write ups. A lot of good comments. Might save on pushing the heat into the attic/outside.

If you have a window you can open, I'd put a fan as close to it as possible along with some air filters and you should be fine. Even a fan close to the window will push out a lot of the smoke, the filter should take care of most of the rest of it. You might have slight leakage if you're not sealed too well, but another filter in the room adjacent should fix that problem fairly quickly. Check out http://www.holmesproducts.com/ for some good ones.

I can't imagine it makes enough of a difference for you to care about, though. I only run it when we're smoking (though it sometimes runs all night if we're drinking while we're smoking and I forget to turn it off ). It's also variable speed, so if it's just me sitting around having a cigar, it stays on a relatively low setting.

This is great to hear! Thanks.

Excellent lead, thanks. I'll have to check these out. I figured I'd have to work a filter in there somewhere as well regardless of what I do.
