I went large with Christmas holiday roasting with the Ambex this weekend, my experience was as smoke free as it gets...I had tried roasting in the house before when I used a Behmor and I never did that again!
I roasted close to 30lbs on Saturday with the 4" dryer type exhaust tubing venting out the rear door of my house. No smoke in the house at all during the roast, the smallest amount exits with the beans when they are dumped, but the stirrer housing fan eliminates any further smoke. I have a smoke alarm above the unit that never sounded, so for sure the amount was minuscule. I had planned, of course, to have the propane tank outside, but the extension hose turned out to not have the correct fitting, so next time for sure.
Before I brought the Ambex in house, I tried some roasts outdoors when the ambient temp was in the high 40's, and the roasts suffered as a result. The turn was nearly 20 degrees lower, I certainly have all the burner power to compensate, but being my profiles are refined I did not care to experiment. I wouldn't expect you could pull it off with a RK drum, you could possibly minimize smoke with a large range hood and a high powered exhaust fan.
