I don't know if he should earn or lose points for actually using it on ductwork, however... Joel, the T is for ash cleanout. When you shut it off, invariably ash is going to go down that pipe. Points for ingenious use of a brake drum, but aren't they designed to dissipate heat? Fins and all, you know. Probably takes a bit more energy to heat things up, but also probably not enough to matter. He even worked duct-tape into it!

And, the best part is, with everything constructed seemingly very sturdily, the switch is attached with a spring clamp. I love this thing. I am curious about the T-fitting. Is there a reason an 90º elbow couldn't be used? I'm not too familiar with how these things work. I think I just found inspiration for my new space heater! ;)
