Thought you fellows with wood working shops might like to find another use for your dual bag sawdust collection system if you have one of those suction units. Doesn't take much effort to rig an intake above the pot if you are concerned about fumes. My unit has some serious suck and if it's rigged too close will pull kitty litter off the top of the melt. I bought some extra hose and a coupler and move the unit as far away as I can get it as it tends to be irritatingly noisy when I am casting in the basement. It would be better if it was an outdoors unit but seems to do the job.

Bit of smoke on occasion when I don't use Marvelux. Gets it away from the detectors.
