Hey, I bet that set of Doug's Headers I have in the garage would make cool looking chaff ejectors?

Where on earth does everyone find silicone tubing for the rim of the spacer?  I've checked Lowes, Home Depot and every auto parts store in a 10-mile radius and have come up with nothing.

Don't knock yourself out; it's debatable if you even need it.

I've never used it. In fact this is the first I remember hearing about it.

One of mine has it & the other doesn't. I don't notice any difference in roaster, but the one that has it is quieter.

My oven top kinda slides around on the aluminum spacer.  I'm just looking for the silicone to keep that part in place.

Give it a dozen more roasts, 'til the roastium builds up on the glass, and it will slide a lot less.

My oven top slides around a lot without the tubing. I bought a length of high-temp silicone tubing from US Plastics (3/16" ID x 5/16" OD). It was 60 cents per foot, available in 10 ft. increments. A slit with scissors made for a quick fit. The turbo oven sits firmly & does not move – nice.

Heads up:  Target has StirCrazy poppers for $19.99 this week - which is about the best price I've seen these for (new) in years.

Nice price - Toss in a Convection oven top & you've got 99% of a TurboCrazy!

Thank you! Thank you!

I burned up my last one have been needing a replacement.

It was a sad day when Sunpentown figured out what we were doing with those "replacement" tops, and jacked the price up from $25 to $45...

I didn't rat us out - must've been that troublemaker, Susan ! At one time if you entered 'Stir Crazy' in the Amazon search field it would produce a convection oven in the alternative suggestions.

But hey, <$100 for a great 1^# - 2^# roaster: I'd say it was still dirt cheap!
