Hi guys, I have a crazy Idea that I want to build a forced induction bbq.
The plan is to use an old dyson motor on the other side of a wall to blow
air into an enclosed space below my brick bbq with holes allowing air entry into the fire pit.
Problem is, I really want the motor to be variable in speed.
It is 1200 Watts, so normal dimmer switches (400watts limit) are not enough.
Question is, where can I get or how can I make a 1200 Watt dimmer/pot.
For example would connecting dimmer switches in parallel work? Ideally would rather have just one knob to control it, but anyway...
Any ideas?
Tim
