    Nobody will sell you an open frame/open, motor to insert in the fume
    stream of explosive gases. When told that what you are going to use
    it for. The salesman not knowing exactly what you are talking about
    using it for. This is due to our litigious world. You may not think
    of suing but your remaining family might. The air/fuel mixture has
    to be the right mixture only once for a nice boom. As per the cable
    news this morning with a gas explosion at a house in Ill. Using a
    squirrel cage fan with the motor outside the exhaust stream would
    solve your problem. I have a small spray booth in the basement I
    used an old dyer motor/fan unit that was hooked to the dryer vent
    that dumped outside.

    Here are two sites that will give you some info on vent ducting and
    fume removal equipment. Spend some time looking and reading the
    catalog section. and will be able to educate yourself enough to make
    a choice. As you are not doing large volumes of fume generation (ie
    production work) a fan unit that has a couple of cubic feet per
    minute air flow would work. air flow is measured in cubic feet per
    minute. Kimberley Adams has a section in her book on setting up a
    vent system for lampworking beads. The complete book of glass
    beadmaking from Lark books http://www.teksupply.com TekSupply Has
    exhaust fans of all descriptions. http://www.AllElectronics.com Has
    surplus type fans and other equipment 

    The above info is for educational purposes, no warranties expressed
    or implied Also all the legal mumbo jumbo about the the web sites
    above. Just a long term satisfied customer. 

glen, been there done that and probably broke it!
