Well, that about does it. I hope this will be of use to someone in building and using their own grill-roaster. It truly has been the best coffee roaster I?ve owned and my weekly favorite to use. Happy roasting to you all!

Exceptionally thorough treatise on your roaster. I have an old Alp that is still working as a back up (if I have trouble with my primary roaster). If and when the Alp gives up the ghost this will be an extremely helpful thread. After the contest, we should talk about turning this into a permanent article for the site.

Dan and Mike,

Glad to help out and add to this great list of roasters. I've been out of town for several weeks and just didn't have time to get mine done. Please feel free to use this submission as you see fit in the future.

Rick:

Really nice grill roaster. Your directions and presentation make it easy for someone to be able to make a great drum roaster.

Your photo's are excellent. GREAT entry. Thanks and good luck.

Rick,

Excellent job presenting all the details including photos of various parts and tools used; a very well-written presentation. s:2s:1s:2s:1s:2

Just as soon as I have the time, I will be adding flashing to my grill as you have yours. Great idea of supporting the upper flashing with the copper tubing.
Respectfully,

Eddie Dove
