Fill the tray with buffalo chips and fire it up.

The seller claims it is capable of a 1.3 lb roast.  That is not a plausible claim.  I believe you would be disappointed.  Save that $100 and put it toward a Gene Cafe or Hottop, or if mechanical look at Peter's SC/TO set up.

I note also that the description calls for 220V and I cannot figure out what sort of North American socket the plug would fit. Philosophically, the concept looks like the guts of a Behmor without the housing or electronics.

Looks like if you remove the tray it would fit nicely over a gas stove burner.  I'd forget it tho and but your money towards an actual roaster.  You can make this out of an empty can attached to a cordless drill.  For $100 just run 4 poppers in sequence :P
