OK I am Not an electrician.
Got me a 6"filter and fan. Made my own speed controller (outlet box with light dimmer switch) which I have running constant at a very low speed to control smell (BTW works great). Now I also purchased a inline fan controller (thermostat) from lowes($35). I wired this in to the fan after the speed controller(my thinking when temps get too high full power to the fan to cool). Tested by throwing a space heater in the room and it seems to work fine.
Just a little worried that this configuration may burn out my fan or the dimmer switch.
Any thoughts are appreciated
