I do have one question about your sitrrer. From the picture, it looks like the thin cross section stirs the beans instead of the large flat part (see diagram). Does it mix the beans well?

I'm a great believer in turbo oven roasting. There's so much that can be done with this concept. Saw your posts on CS and was glad to see another turbo project.
enjoy!!!

I did however get a few ideas from your set up
Will I get more control with heat if I raise the bean mass closer to the the turbo

Thanks for the interest

I started with a tall pot too and kept cutting it down which increased batch size. Smaller area to heat and less area to lose heat.

Unbelievable guy.

Yet another take on a roaster that is awesome.

I guess we need to have another roaster building contest.

Thanks for posting this Kosmo.

cuz I need too

Hence the question
I can raise the roast bean mass closer to the turbo heater element by 2 inches by adding an extension to the drive shaft and lifting the two half moon brackets
And or this as well
A friend can get me some 1/4" aluminium plate off cuts for free
So I will make a false bottom rather than cut the pot down

Ideally I want to roast 600 grams comfortably but at the moment in the first roast I could manage 450 grams without to much trouble but may be the comfortable limit

that should help. I think your element is the 1200w size so 600gr. is a good amount for that amount of heat. The false bottom will give you a layer of insulation too.

your local bakers store should have a goodly supply of cake pans in diameters up to like 24" and depths of 2 to four inches.
They work great but being aluminum they bleed heat faater then some people go thru money.
