Well, it works.
Here is the logged temperatures. There are a few notes to go with it. Between 7:15 and 7:30, we were in the kitchen preparing diner, thus the temperature bump up where it had previously slowed. Also, after 8:00 I manually shut the fan off to see if the temperature decreasing trend would increase, and it seems that it did. Also note that the later time periods are not equal.
Here is a nice image to show what I mean.
