The rolled edges on the top & bottom allow a very easy fit at the bean cup and the elbow-much more forgiving than the monin bottle I originally used. thirddayhomeroaster attached the following image: Edited by David on 07/29/2007 10:17 PM

It had to contour around the inside of the popper. thirddayhomeroaster attached the following image: Edited by David on 07/29/2007 11:02 PM

Just pull the holder back a bit, remove the chamber, clean, replace. thirddayhomeroaster attached the following image: Edited by David on 07/29/2007 11:05 PM

Newbie Posts: 22 Joined: July 09, 2007	Here's my final entry. Note the collar I added above the cooling area in the chimney area to accomodate the extra glass. When I finished, I thought, "This is finished. There's nothing else I could do to it." Five minutes later PID's crossed my mind. I see another mod in my roaster's future. And just now, I thought, what about a high wattage dimmer switch from ebay to run the heating element instead of off-on? Or maybe just build a new roaster from scratch? No wonder this hobby is so addictive! Off to work on my friend's popper mod. thirddayhomeroaster attached the following image: Edited by David on 07/29/2007 11:07 PM

I thought your article was very well written and I appreciated your sense of humor. The only drawback that I found in the article was that it was hard for me to tell what you were doing from the pictures. By that I mean that it wasn't until I was on the second page before I got the Big Picture. Even then it was still a bit confusing because the starting picture and the ending picture were quite different. Maybe a diagram inserted early on would help. Hmm, that's a lot of words to describe what is truly a very minor point. I really liked your entry. If I ever return to my native Michigan, I will definitely be setting out to make one of these. A necessary accessory it is. Nice job. s:2

Great work! Respectfully, Eddie Dove The South Coast Coffee Roaster vita non est vivere sed valere vita est Home Coffee Roasting Blog and Reference http://southcoast...gspot.com/
