Explore mounting of heat resistant fan inside chamber #25

We need to arrive at a decision on how to mount a fan for distributing heat around the chamber. If mounting safely is not possible, we would need to look into using an oven fan.

We are planning on using a funnel on each side of the fan. The funnel will sit on brackets and we can epoxy between the funnel and the inner wall of the chimney. The fan will sit between the two funnels and we can use epoxy to seal between the fan and the two funnels.
