    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Cleared up nicely.

    Maybe just a handful of rubble will do the job.

    Looking good.

    Looks good and cleared out nicely. A nice chunk of rock could help or maybe a tall stack near the outflow to redirect it.

    Looks great! Any way to add some loc-line to the output so you can redirect the flow?

    You might be able to extent the lip on the outflow with some plexiglass.

    My LEDs have been generating a lot of heat especially since they are enclosed. I decided to modify the hood a little more and add a couple 40mm fans. They fit perfectly in the back and don't add too much noise.
