1/4 Pounder Posts: 89 Joined: July 27, 2007	There was a question earlier about buildup on the lamps. I can confirm that not only is there no buildup on the lamps, there is none on the reflectors or the mounting bracket either. Obviously the temperature here is too high for deposits..:@ Brainiac attached the following image:

1/4 Pounder Posts: 89 Joined: July 27, 2007	Took it apart some, put it back together, still works like a charm! (phew!) BTW, the reason I hung the drum from a top beam, rather than a bottom mounting, is so that I could slide a tray under the drum for dumping (obviously!) Any questions?

1/4 Pounder Posts: 89 Joined: July 27, 2007	I thought that I had better get around to posting a picture of my working setup including the bean cooler (alas, too small for the competition!) This uses a 4-inch bathroom extractor fan, and includes a chaff filter and bagging chute (and makes a nice stable base for the roaster). I like the fact that I can cool the previous batch and roast the next batch at the same time, all self-contained. Brian Brainiac attached the following image:

Very cool, Brian. s:1 This roaster inspired me to try building one of my own, but it's not nearly as nice as this one. Mine's a bit more of a junk-yard dog. Sorta looks like a home made tow truck on the back of a a '73 F100 pick up... I'll post all about it once I get a little more time. Respect the bean.

Newbie Posts: 28 Joined: November 02, 2007	It looks like an awesome roaster. Have you considered using a thin perforated stainless drum? you can source these as perforated stainless waste baskets at Various retail stores. Awesome design. ******************* Ed Needham** "to absurdity and beyond!" http://www.homero... http://www.facebo...EdNeedham1 *********************

Administrator Posts: 2598 Joined: September 30, 2016	Opinions from anyone than the OP are welcomed, though. I am thinking the place for ET should be not exposed to direct radiant heat, so behind the reflector... now wondering how much heat radiates the reflector itself !

Newbie Posts: 28 Joined: November 02, 2007	I have used a perforated stainless drum with propane for about 16 years with good results. I do use perforated ceramic blocks between the flame and the beans, which creates a barrier, but also transfers heat as an infrared radiator as the ceramic blocks heat to bright red at times. I am a big fan of the perforated stainless, number one because you can turn the temperature on a dime, and number two it releases all of the chaff and smoke as it roasts. ******************* Ed Needham** "to absurdity and beyond!" http://www.homero... http://www.facebo...EdNeedham1 *********************

homeroaster	#63 Posted on 07/23/2018 9:52 AM
Newbie Posts: 28 Joined: November 02, 2007	I measure the ambient temperature of the roaster at Bean level. I have used a long stem dial thermometer at times two measure temperature in the bean Mass, but it does not help me that much as long as I control the roaster temperature. All temperature readings are essentially approximation that you can learn to depend on at various points. No one has come up with a functional way to measure internal bean temperature while roasting, although we toy with the idea I'm a small Bean size capsule with a temperature sending unit, but could not find one that would tolerate the Heat. ******************* Ed Needham** "to absurdity and beyond!" http://www.homero... http://www.facebo...EdNeedham1 *********************
