Anyone done this?
Yes, using solar powered attic fans. BUT I'd much prefer a powered setup. The solar setup was really expensive and I highly doubt the CFM claims. I can't recommend the fans I purchased from an online retailer - one was broken on arrival, retailer refused to honor warranty. But they others do work well on sunny days and the kiln has performed very well.
