This will use a 4 inch vent hose about 18 inches long. the fan moves 50 cfm . I think I have hit a grand slam here. Oh yeah using a heater filter.

Les,
Check this web page. It convinced me to not use a bathroom exhaust fan. Also depending on how far away your window is, 50 cfm my not be sufficient. If you are using elbows or worse flex tubing which is highly restrictive the fan may not do much good at all.
Researching for this little project has really opened my eyes to the work involved in building a reliable and safe set up.
