Thanks to Jedovaty (Thanks Jano!) I am close to having an actual TO roaster.

I have seen some builds with plastic buckets, steel pots, and other RCs. Is there any particular material that suits TO roasting more than another, aside from heat resistance considerations?

Is it even called a roast chamber for a TO roaster?

Yay!

I wouldn't use plastic buckets...

The most accepted item is stainless steel. I've seen some setups with glass and ceramic bowls.

If you want instant gratification, start with a stir-crazy or bread maker. This way, you won't have to make any real mods to get agitation going. The bread makers are probably cheapest, I saw some at a local goodwill store ranging $3-10 when I went last year. It'd be sort of a spin on the HGBM setup.

The next options all involve getting some combo of motor with agitation arms. At this point, you'll need to work with a SS pot, dog bowl, some kind of dutch oven, glass bowl, etc, drill out a hole, and get a rotating arm hooked up to a motor.
