Ringo, I spent time going through your build photos and posts. Very nice roaster!
I've considered a number of items that could be used for a roasting drum, but an eight inch diameter schedule 40 pipe was not one of them. Very inventive. It is nice to know that it roasting well for you.
I am trying to get my arms around what types of normal steel I should consider. I see hot rolled, cold rolled, high carbon, mild, a variety of ASTM standards, and an alloy composition on some of these that kinda makes me nervous.
Does anyone know, outside of the cast iron spoked ring that I see on many of the commercial units, what type of steel they are using in their drums?
Thanks everyone for your input.
