Cooking over a grill in South Florida can be a miserable experience in the summer. I wanted a small fan to hang over my grill to blow the smoke and heat away from my face, and this fan exactly fit the bill. It's small enough that I can direct it at my face and upper body, so that it's cooling me and not the grill. The front and rear shrouds and the blade assembly are all plastic, so corrosion will not be an issue. The fan slides into a small bracket that mounts to the wall, so it can easily be taken off the wall, either to clean the fan or to hose down the porch.
