For the first time in MONTHS I was able to roast! I had a cup of Guatemala Finca that I needed to use up, as I didn't want to use my newer, nicer stuff testing out the whirly pop. Using the heat gun can potentially be very successful with the WP, but I need to find a way to stabilize the device so I can hold the HG with one hand, and crank with the other. I need to find a way to secure the thermocouples also for more accurate readings. All that being said, I ended up with one of my most even roasts yet. I'll find out in a day or two the quality of the roast. I didn't notice any obvious scorch marks, which has always been my biggest hurdle. I'm thinking this pic could qualify me for Ugliest Roaster, but I'm sure it'll get uglier as I figure out stabilization!

In the roaster im currently working on, i used a heatgun snout from a melted heatgun to accept the plug in heatgun. I used the three screws that used to attach the barrel to the plastic case only now they screw it to a skillet lid. If you need to angle it back use a dish antenna mount tube. A perfect fit.

Good question on the thermocouple mounting. I have the same setup. I would try a lid mounted brass fitting that reaches to the bottom edge. Shorten the dasher if you need to.

To stabilize the unit, i am envisioning something like a sawhorse straddling the lid and parallel to the spine. The legs would outrig a bit to either side. Lash it all together.I do have a possible motor coupling scheme i can share with you later if you would like.
