Hello from Berkeley, California

I’m building a custom roaster on a budget for small batches. It’s still in the drafting phase but I’m looking at an insulated metal box design with PID controlled heating element, air recirculation fan, small steel rotisserie drum, and a couple thermocouples hooked up to Artisan to provide profile data. Still unsure of which heating element to use, a standard stove coil is all I am thinking. I joined the forum to look for ideas and learn more about what makes a good roaster. Thanks for having me.
