Hmmm, I really like that idea Ryland. Perhaps I could duct the inlet from the blower that goes on the bottom to suck air through this larger diameter duct work over the exhaust.

I would think you might get more heat out if you have two blowers as the air entering either point is going to be cooler as it enters so it is going to be able to take on more heat.
