Is that the original stir crazy motor or your substitute motor? The original stir crazy motor was very weak. Looks like a great setup for a cooler.

The bean cooler I made has the original Stir Crazy motor. You're right about the motor being weak, but the motor gets the job done with a few reversals.

I did modify my SC/TO roaster with a more powerful 30rpm motor that is giving me excellent even (I dare say perfect) roasts of 1+ pounds. One of the 'tricks' is to get the diameter correct on the stir rods for the roast size. I used tension pins slid over my stir rods for larger roasts. My stir rods are made from of wires from a wire whisk.

You can see the motor modification in a post under "BUILDING A ROASTER/Turbo Oven Roasters" on this forum: http://forum.home...post_59861
