Makes sense. I'll have to see what's available then. Maybe some ducting?

I wonder also if tubes at the rear of the dog house and vented to the sides would cause the air to "suck" at all?

like blowing across top of straw so to speak?

OK, so I'm back to the idea of an extraction fan....


Why wouldn't it be beneficial to have something like a high output electric radiator fan on top of the hood sucking the hot air out and up? Wouldn't that create much better air-flow than the stock system or even the vent system?


In addition, a powerful extraction fan would allow for substantial heat evacuation during those times when I'm going slow and additional air isn't being forced through by speed.
