I've made 1 of those DYI carbon filters, had a 250cfm 6" inline exhaust fan & w/ only 1 wrap, vented outside, didn't take smell away. Read you need to use a 80 - 140cfm or the air moves to fast threw the carbon filter to clean the air, switched to a 4" inline 80cfm exhaust fan & double wrap of carbon filter. So far so good no smell at all.
