I'm in the middle of refurbishing my 1/2 drum roaster and thought I'd post the steps with pics for anyone interested in seeing the innards.

The project will accomplish the following:
-Change from perfed to solid drum
-Change from heatgun style under-the-drum element to serpentine heavy ribbon under-the-drum which will allow non-powered (natural) convection or slight induced draft.
-Change from C-frame "canopener" gearmotor to quiet synchronous drive motor.

Here it is before pulling it all apart.
