So folks, here is a photo as I mentioned I would post before.

-- carbon scrubber

This is my carbon scrubber, and I am hoping it will work. First of all, what I did was have a fan inside the rubbermaid box, and there're 4 holes (one on each corner). I put in another fan on the outside of the box, and got 4 screws that could fit in both fans. I found that it didn't move as much air, so I got bigger screws and put the carbon scrubber fan a bit further so the inside fan can still push air inside the pocket that the duct tape creates.

The duct tape is wrapped around the 4 screws, and umm... the outside fan is hollowed out to allow content inside (the activated carbon).

For now, though... I am letting the hot air out through these gutted holes, but once the smell starts to hit, I'm going to duct tape it again and test the scrubber out. I've already tested it before with the tape intact, and there was little air coming out of the scrubber. The inside of the rubbermaid box maintained a temperate of 90 fahrenheits. Right now it's 85F.
