I've ordered one of these to extend (replace) the chamber in mine: https://www.aliex...180286hZOZ will definitely be tall, but there is plenty of power in the fan to move the beans, should help prevent the beans from escaping. I keep ending up with too many beans in the chaff through different stages of the roast. It would be interesting to setup a top that if you turn the dial to 11 it will blow the roasted beans out of the chamber into a container. Edited by renatoa on 02/18/2022 6:48 AM

Success with the modified fan grid. For the cooling phase I have used more fan power than ever before, and no beans was ejected in the chaff colector.
