You will need another window open, either to the house (to suck house air out to the porch) or to the outdoors. An outdoors open window would of course need to be hardwarecloth screened. And the fan window should be too -- or at the very very least, make sure the fan is very securely affixed into it so a raccoon would have to pull the fan cover off (and encounter the spinning blades) if it was wanting in.

I have never seen a racoon on my porch
Yeah but you've never kept chickens on your porch either
Seriously, it is different when you are "baiting them up". Once there is a chicken dinner available, raccoon behavior changes.

we don't live near a ravine for cayotes to be an issue.
Loose dogs are still an issue anywhere, and can get anywhere a coyote could (and then some).
All I'm saying is, be careful
Good luck, have fun,
Pat
