I installed my new cooling unit and all is well. It was a bit of work.
I added some cooling fans as pictured below.
3 120mm fans mounted to the wall are just below the condenser fins. They're a tight fit. The gap around the trim was about 1/16" and it's now 1/8". I replaced the weather stripping around the trim and it looks fine.
2 92mm fans mounted are mounted using conduit hangers.
The outer 2 condenser fin fans are on all of the time. The center condenser fin fan and the 92mm fans turn on when the temp is above 85 degrees then off when it goes below 70. The temp switch is mounted to the wall just above the opening so it will get a good flow of air.
I added Reflectix insulation in several places. The contact paper on the back wall was a little scorched from the propane exhaust. Even after insulating, the heating element tube raised the temp of the adjacent wall 5-10 degrees over room temp.
