Worst case, if the fire ignites, burn back into the auger and hopper. Do you have a specific issue or reason that you have encountered that prompted your question?
The flame in the pot would be less. You can see it with a flashlight. Look at it when off, and then on you will see the difference.
I know! Lets ask a Yoder person to try it! "Here hold my beer, watch this!"

Ohh that 40f ain't helping matters. Have to bought a cheap welding and moving blanket and use those as insulation? Works great, bet you see less temp swings.
The fan whines when starting with cold temps. The cold weather makes the clearances for the bushings/bearings too big and once it warms up it quiets down and runs normally.
There are probably better fans that would be more tolerant of the temperature swings but this one hasn't got worse over the last 3 years so maybe it will be fine for another 10
