A portable battery powered blower apparatus for fanning charcoal or other fuel is disclosed and includes a compact two-section, hollow housing including an upright body, and a barrel projecting from an upper portion of the body. The body is internally divided into a lower battery receiving compartment, an intermediate blower receiving chamber separated into side-by-side turbine and fan motor chambers, and an upper air flow transition region. A curved tubular conduit carries air from the turbine chamber and through the air flow transition region and to the free end of the barrel. The barrel is provided with internal reinforcing ribs which support the tubular conduit. Also, first and second lips project downwardly from the end of the barrel to engage a rim of a fuel container. The base of the housing is flared and abuts the side wall of the fuel container to position the apparatus for use.
