My take on a BM/HG combo

So I confiscated the wife's bread maker in the interest of science to get this project rolling. Step 1 rip the guts out. Step 2 take the lid apart Step 3 rewire the motor with a toggle switch Step 4 add a receptacle Step 5 wire in a larger power cord. Step 6 confiscate heat riser off an old manifold and modify. Step 7 pop-rivet into metal lid Step 8 Install reducer to accept heat gun. Step 9 install heat riser flex tube Step 10 cut hole in side of bread maker to duct smoke out of chamber. Step 11 install ducting Step 12 wait for thermocouple probes to arrive Here it is so far.

Looking forward to more photos and build documentation as you add thermocouples and start browning beans! Oh, btw, that is one sweet looking automobile in the foreground! What year is it?

My summer toy is a 76 vette that I spent a few years going through. It now has a GMPP 350HO with about 350hp. It's got a factroy 4 speed and now runs like a Corvette should. :-)

I put a hole in the end at the bottom for air and chaff to escape a long time ago but never did put any tubing on it like you did. I need to do that. Good luck, anxious to see further additions and improvements. Pete

I only want to pull the smoke out not the heat. I also found I had to add a set screw to the paddle. When I did a test run with beans and no heat the beans caused the paddle to lift up.
