Could  you provide a description w/pictures of how you set that up?
Sounds like a  really good idea...

Michael, yes that would be a good project.  As  soon as work slows down in
the shop I will get right on that.  Pics and  diagrams coming.........but for
the moment I have nothing.  The fan fits  right on the back of the city water
outlet after you cut out the center so that  you have just the part that screws
to the body and the flap.  The fan I  found had mounting holes that lined up
with two of the four city water outlet  mounting screws.  I installed spring
clip screw holders on the fan and used  longer screws to mount the outlet and
fan at the same time.  I use a  pop-cicle stick to keep the flap open when the
fan is running.  I installed  an LED lighted switch on the stove front next to
the electrical panel that's  there.  I picked up 12 v power from behind that
plate as it has a fused 12  v power input.  Another option I though of since is
to use a micro switch  on the flap so that when the flap is opened the fan
comes on.
