I dont know how to make one, but if you go to ebay.co.uk and put in 'cool tube' one will come up thats ready built with a reflector. Pricey though at £90

3 links in under 30 seconds, try searching a little harder next time. You look for information like my kids look for work.

I don't know if I would go with a flower vase, just because I know lantern chimneys should be tempered, heat-resistant, ... not so sure about a vase, doubtful ... :smokin:

If you ask a company that makes windows (look in the phone book or Google it) Im sure that theyd be able to put you in contact with someone who will be able to make one. Probably be quite pricey, but at least you can then get the exact specification you want.
Actually, thats a damn good idea. I might ask around tomorrow.

Buy one it's cheaper then building one these day's.

yeah, what Zandor said, thats the way to go ... an inline 'duct fan' for it can be found for about $20 at any Home Depot, too ... :smokin:
