Notice the half inch gap on the sides of the frame. (after plumbing the door) I havn't even insulated around the frame yet.(so there is tons of air getting thru the sides still) Also I have the air inlet open to the room. Thought it was funny and even laughed a little.

nice POWER! looks like you will need the cabin depressurization masks installed in the ceiling for emergency oxygen, should anyone accidentally turn it on full blast.

What would have been funny is installing the door opening the other way and the loungers get trapped in there because the door is sucked to the trim work.

Justin, are you using a regular light dimmer to control a single speed fan? If so you’re going to overheat your fan unless you just run it at full speed (i.e. full voltage) in which case I would just recommend a plain on/off switch. Not sure how much you know about this but a light dimmer works by reducing the voltage to the light. Reducing voltage to a motor will cause the windings to heat up and eventually burn out the motor. Worst case scenario, start a fire. Being in the fire biz you may already know this but I just felt it was worth mentioning because that looks like a standard rheostat\dimmer to me.

If you know this already and I’ve got your setup wrong, I’ll just sit back and be quite in envy! :thumbsup:

I'd love to hang out in a lounge like this. My B&M does an okay job, but when there's more than 5 or so people smoking in the lounge... it kills it for me. Can't enjoy the flavors of my smoke and get pounded with nicotine way quicker.

Looks amazing in there man.

What kind of exhaust is it? I have been trying to see if a residential exhaust with really high cfm rating is sufficient to keep the smoke out or if a commercial unit is best.
