That looks really sweet! I don't know if you recall, tried something similar but not as elegant. I used an old speaker cabinet. Worked for a bit.
I see you have the BT and ET there, how are they secured? How do you get the beans out, tip the whole contraption, or pull the colander out?
Thanks Jedovaty and Oldgearhead!
I have the thermocouples inserted into what once was a stainless steel probe. Just cut the end of the steel probe, pulled the old wire out and inserted my probe into it. Just using it as a holder. I just drilled out holes in the pot and they slide in.
I vac out the beans direct into my cooler. There is a thread on this cooler here.

This will monitor the roast standalone or attached to a computer to graph. I am using the RoastLogger software.
Some of the work looks rough and a bit tilted, I am not a wood or metal worker. Much of it was done with hand tools.
