I'm still working on the wife so I can build a garden/roasting shed. I am using the term shed in the basic sense of the word, as it will be 18 x 24 concrete block building with a 6' wide roll up door going out to a stone patio area (away from the house). If this comes into being the roaster will "migrate" from a cart to a permanent indoor location with a fixed exhaust vent through the roof. I've got 2" underground conduit starting out from the house toward where I want to build it so it is a "tad" more than just a thought :) Mick - "Drinking in life one cup at a time"

If I suggested an idea like this to my wife, she would say, "Fine: Just make sure you add enough space for a cot at night and an outdoor latrine." So many beans; so little time.... |

Now that is a portable man cave.  If I had one of those, my wife will be coming along. Serious WAF right there. Another member of the KKTO rider's club, together with coretto, FZ-RR700 Baby Roaster and a sad sack of less than 20 kilograms of greens.

Update: Coretto number three has joined the stable for the weekly 4 kilogram roast sessions. The venerable KKTO will have a new lid and heatgun set up with roast logging soon.

I can't believe that I haven't posted the new cart set up in this thread.... I found my "lost box of bits" earlier today so now I can get started on automating/interfacing the roaster with artisan to control burners from the laptop

Cart looks better than the red one turtle. Kudos. I am also envious.  What did you do with the red cart? Hey Tony. Go ahead, post a new thread about your kit, sit back and take pride in the fact you have come a long way from inferior coffee. Simply post a new thread and it will show your name as the author.

Okay, I have a whirley pop being modified with a motor, a SC/MC (Magic Chef)being built, KKTO parts being gathered, and around 13 pounds of green beans just begging to be roasted. But, maybe if I'm fueled with some of my beautifully roasted Colombian Papayan, I can throw something together to post. |

The cleaner is seven years-old it served as a cooler when I was running Zach & Dani's roasters. The roaster is only four and a half..
