what is the maximum temp for this fan, I am looking to use it to convert a smoker to a food dehydrator

I can't give you a proper answer, but the housing and fan appear to be made of ABS which is generally rated to 80 C (176 F).

These t-stats are designed to come on at a certain temp and then shut off when the temp is lower than what you set it at.Let's say you set it on 90. When the temp reaches 90 it will turn the fan on. After it cools to below 90, it will turn off.I don't know what the temp differential would be though. Maybe 10 degrees? I'm not sure.

Hi Joe, I used it at 450 no problem. I purchased 2 and still have the other one in it's box and it says max 480 F. Hope this helps.

I have used it as a smoker. You have to be careful and keep an eye on the temp gauge.

My unit will peak out at about 300 to 325 degrees. Of course you can go as low as ambient. I really would like the smoker to go a little higher so that I can do hot and fast smoking as shown on Smokingmeat.com. I plan to tweak the regulator and vents to get the temp up a little more.

110 but I would NOT recommend this to anyone! I had one,,,temp had a 6-8 degree variant than what it showed. They sent me as new one, same thing. I know 2 other people that have had the same experience. JUNK,,,IMHO

95degrees to 155 degrees. The highest setting is for beef jerky which is what I mostly use my dehydrator for. It is a great machine. The fan in the back ensures the trays receive even air so you don't have to reposition the trays like you do with round dehydrators with the fan on top. It is quiet (at least enough for me) and easy to clean up. Really recommend this product.

The maximum tempurature is a 1000watt microwave. Mine is 800 and it works fine.

It's very safe at 350, which is the only temp I've used it at. Sorry if this doesn't help, you might try the manufacturer.

The fan I just bought starts movement fairly quickly on top of a Gas fired stove with and extra tile on top. I have not tested the temperature that it begins working but guessing 250 to 300 degrees F.

Not sure what you mean by highest temp for the element? The element will hold a 250 temp in my smoker depending on exterior air temps. Temps will also vary pending on how much the smoke openings are open or shut.

I use this for BBQing and smoking to seal my thermometers. So I'm not using it on motors. It's good to 700*F. The highest temp RTV I've seen. Probably a good idea to call a couple Auto parts stores or local mechanics.

I do everything in Fahrenheit, but I THINK that is about 95-100 degrees. For what I am doing, I keep it on about 124 degrees and it holds one degree either way, so I would say it SHOULD be OK for what you want.

The package said Working temperature:1000F or 537C if that helps. We only bought it to wrap our propane smoker to keep it up to temp in winter & it does a fine job for that!

You may want to check the temperature range of this unit and see if the probe can take the temperature of your smoker. If the range is within your specs and you are able to use the output to manipulate your smoker to increase or decrease the heat, sure why not.

I'm sorry that I cannot give an absolute answer to your question because I have not ever needed to run mine at the highest temp since I use it mostly for fish at a lower setting. I did smoke some turkey legs though a few months ago and set the thermostat to 225 degrees. It had not trouble reaching that temp, and the thermostat was only a little above half way. I have found by using a separate thermometer though that it usually runs about 10 degrees hotter than the dial thermometer on the door says. Hope this helps. I just ordered a cold smoker adapter to keep the temp down more for cold smoking lox.

I don't know if the unit is rated for that high a temp. The most it would normally handle is about 140 degrees.
