    Roaster Exhaust

    Optimal Roaster

    sae, a 1lb home-roaster is what I've already built and it works fine. it took a couple of hours to cut up a bicycle and a little welding. i'm now looking to build a 25-50lb capacity roaster

    Optimal Roaster

By optimal I mean: consistent high quality roast relatively not effected by external climate while retaining great fine tuning ability. +size of drum(diameter, length, and...
