Not really in the snipping mood, but I"ll paraphrase some stuff and
hopefully make sense....

You could keep the t-stat setup like you have it with a decent electric fan.
Try to find one that moves enough air and requires the least amount of
modification. Most electric fans won't even kick on untill 200 degrees, even
with an adjustable setup, so keeping it cool without the fan is important. I
saw a significant improvement in mileage and response from an elctric fan,
but mine was on a premag. Do some homework and read about CFM ratings and
horsepower cooling ratings (info available on manufacturer websites). Buy a
fan according to your usage. If you use AC a lot, a fan that's got some
power is better. Do some homework before you buy and you'll come out with
something that works well for you.
