How far open should the top vent be when using this product?

I left it about half way but it is a little trial and error the first couple of times...hope you enjoy as much as I do and sure you wife like mine will enjoy being the sous chief

Depends on the temperature you desire. I keep mine set to where I would have had it without DigiQ.

I use it with a large BGE with a SmokeWare Chimney Cap. I close the damper on the fan by about 30% and only open the cap vent about an 1/8 inch. I'm able to hold temp down around 200 for long periods using this method. If I don't partially close the damper the cap ends up controlling the temp (using the air being pulled through the fan without it being on) and it tends to run up to about 270 or so. You would probably want to reduce the damper on a larger BGE and increase on a smaller one.

I run the wires through the top vent so I keep it open just enough for them to fit.

Just a little bit....shut the vent and turn the wheel so that all the little ports are open

Fully extended, the exhaust hose is perhaps 48" long. So, the unit has to be pretty close to the window. However, the hose is the same size as a dryer exhaust hose, so could be easily extended with an extension you can buy at the hardware store. I suspect that extending the hose will affect the operation of the unit, at least to some degree. The exhaust fan will have to work harder, and you will have a greater surface area of hot hose in the room, which will radiate heat. Also, if the hose dips in elevation, the low spot will likely collect water that is being removed from the air in your room. So I suggest keeping the whole length of the hose elevated at least to the height of the exhaust vent in the back of the unit. Hope that helps.

I am recently using this product and the back does not need to have open access to air. I lay it flat on a container in my basement closet. Product is great and mildew and mold problem solved for me. ^_^

Can be vented either upward or out of back depending upon how the exhaust motor is positioned. Instructions included, easy to follow.

Hello, If you could send us some pictures of the pipe height we could better answer you question. The vent opening is 8 inches and it sounds like a perfect application for our product but if the pipes are to high the vent would not sit down properly on your deck. Thanks for your inquiry.

Let the coals burn with the lid and bottom vent wide open for 15-20 minutes, then close the lid. Keep the bottom and top vents fully open until you get to the temp you need. Once I hit temp with the vents wide open, I usually close both down to level 1 or 2. That usually works fine. To ensure air flow into the bottom vent, you may need to orient (i.e., turn the keg) "into" whichever way the breeze is blowing. On an unusually calm day recently (no breeze at all), I actually hooked up a small floor fan near the keg and pointed it to the bottom vent. That worked great. Got the coals red hot in no time. Hope you're enjoying the Keg. We love ours.

Would like to do an undercounter installation. The size gives about 2" on each side and top. Is that enough ventilation ?

I'm not sure if a bath exhaust fan would have enough pressure to open the vent. The vent uses a inverted plastic 'cup' riding in the center of the assembly to seal the vent when not in use. The 'cup' may weigh a little to much to open with a fan, but works great with a dryer. You might try contacting the manufacturer.

Furnace vent must be vented to the outside. The blower in the furnace will blow exhaust out to the vent but must be to the outside. As long as the vent is on a upward slope so the exhaust will go up and out, should be OK. Top of the vent on the outside should be upward above the roof at least 2 feet for it to operate OK. My vent is 2 feet above the edge of my outside garage and works just fine.

Jen is correct, it's just a low vent on the back. It zips down if you don't want it open. But, it is perfect, when open, to put a fan in front of it and keep some fresh air flowing through.

The vents are open all the time. This is not a 'fancy' item but is practical in terms of allowing air in a room while keeping insects and rain out. (Happy with mine-)

The vents that suck in the bad air are on the sides, and it blows the clean air out of the top -- so I wouldn't think you would want it too close to the ceiling. I guess it depends how tall your ceilings are. Mine is sitting on the floor. It is a great purifier though -- it is super quiet and has enabled me to keep both my cat and my super allergic boyfriend :)

Draws air in from the front, blows it out the top (basically behind and a lil below the top controls). I'd say 6"-12" should be enough distance.

Use the top vent to control temperature. I wouldn't full the charcoal more than 3/4 for smoking.

I vented with 6 " also through the roof. Turned it on, went on the roof and it was blowing pretty hard. I am very satisfied. Didn't try the t paper trick though. We have a very large bathroom and it pulls air very well.

The vent is on the top, you only have to have room for the door. You can put in a corner with no problem
