Part 1 - The drum

The back may be modified to keep stress off the motor during dumping. Why did we go with this for the drum? For me it is a number of reasons. Inexpensive Easy to work with Available Easy chaff removal Good heat transfer Here is what the drum basically looks like. Alchemist attached the following image:

The plan is to open the front of the drum for the ability to have a trier and dump the roast hands off without gloves. The front will be opened and a three layered grooved support will be attached for the drum to ride on guide wires. We will actually get into photos, but here are the first drawings.
