If this proves to be clear as mud, I'll post a few pics soon. All it is, is a box I cut down from a larger box, with a baffle taped into the inside that runs from side to side, in effect creating a two-sectioned interior. The fan is one of those generic black plastic-housed fans that is angled up, and set on HI. Anything could be used to hold the hot beans, colander, etc. I just had this Tupperware square from a previous bean cooler.
I like it 'cuz the fans are only $10, and available anywhere, when this one gives up the ghost. Plus it's very quiet, and doesn't drown out Brahm's String Serenade serenely soothing the scene. Anything less would be uncivilized.

That's clear as a bell, peter. Thanks. I started a similar contraption, but I had planned to have the fan mounted in a baffle a few inches from the bottom of the beans blowing up. My BM/HG often leaves quite a lot of chaff in the beans and I was hoping to blow most of it out (I roast outside year round).

My favorite part of the design is the part where the "Cool Air [is] Drawn Across Perfectly Roasted Beans"
I am sure it took many years to perfect the latter part of that feature. I am afraid I cannot attempt to create a device like yours, Mein Herr, as I lack such beans. ;)

Hey... perfect roasts? ...it's so easy a caveman can do it. Just ask Joe.
