You mentioned that drum on the package you sent me:p

That looks great indeed. Even better than the one I've seen on Sweet maria's franken-thingy (I am sure that pages is old news to all of you)
Any plans on offering to make this for members?
I am quite intrigued. Never would I admit I couldn't make that, but to say your execution seems very nice and I would love to roast with it!

Awesome!

It will be my pleasure, just say the word-pm me.

Hanan,

Perhaps it would be kosher to put a thread in the Buy-Sell forum to showcase your drum, and make it a sticky.  If you're selling this thing of rare beauty, us brothers of the bean should be the first to know about it.

Probat L12...I was at a local roaster recently and they are in the process of setting up a Probat that roasts 90 kilos.  Let's see, 200 lbs of coffee at $2.50 a pound.  Just remembering some of my finer 'pooched' roasts as I learned machines.  Yow-zir...expensive learning lessons on that machine.

Well since you guys kindly helped me with the temp cutoff on this guy, and since that sparked the making of this ultra cheap frankenstein.
I am obliged to show her off.

Nice!!! I love Probats, something about the cast Iron Drum just makes sense.

Thanks, Monito...(Brazilian....always seems to roast evenly for me)

mp-can do a lb, but 12-14 oz seems to be the "sweet spot".  Built from all new components for ~$85

I'd be willing to trade for the Probat.....even steven  (although I don't think I could afford the shipping....damn)

Many of you have seen my roasting station, but for the new guys, here it is:

http://peter4jc.googlepages.com/

A few things have changed, like a new bean cooler, but the roasters have been the same for 3 years.  The take a lickin' and keep on tickin'.  50#'s/month in '05, 60 in '06, 73/mo. in '07.  No issues, no complaints.

Hey Peter, thanks for posting your roasting setup. Is there a fan up there in your ventilation cabinet that isn't shown in the pics? Your bean cooler has sparked some ideas that I can't wait to try out. I'm off to buy a plastic tub and a sheet of plywood!!

Yes, grinderz, there's a fan.  Actually, those pics were taken when the station was located next to my chimney, and had one 6" duct booster fan stuck in the hole where the old oil furnace used to be ducted.  I've since had to relocate the station.  Now it uses the same duct booster fan to blow up a 6" duct that runs through a closet on the first floor and into the attic where a 2nd duct booster fan helps out by pulling smoke up.

You can find the fans at Home Depot for ~$26.

If I were computer saavy enough, I'd post the drawing for my new cooler.  All it is is a box 12"w x 20"l x 30"h, with an angled baffle.  An 8" fan that can be bought anywhere sits on the bottom of the box w/ the round part of the fan stuck in an 8" hole in the baffle, blowing out the front of the box, which is cut away and replace w/ window screen.  What I like best about the cooler is its simplicity, and $12 overall cost.

If somebody can give me a clue as to how to draw and post the above ramble, let me know so I can start a new thread and not hijack this one further.
