I built the same thing about 7 years ago and it's been going great. Our maximum batch size is 1.2 kg. This is the only other one I've seen. Good stuff.
That is legit. I have not seen a roaster like this before, and am honestly kind of surprised I haven't! It makes a lot of sense. Seems a lot like the KKTO, but with a drum instead of his agitators. KK (kosmic koffee over at Home Roasters) has a lot of details about what he has judged to be the best roast chamber size when using a turbo oven, and his KKTO design uses an interior pot that has holes in it to allow chaff to drop down out of the "roast chamber" (see: Amazon ' 8 Quart 18/10 Stainless Steel 4 Piece Multi-Cookware Set With Encapsulated Base') . Just mentioning as it may be useful to you or someone else hoping to make this type of roaster. I feel like the point where I would be worried this would fail, or where I would have a lot of trouble if I built it, is the entire drive shaft - motor to bolt to socket to rod. Is there some kind of trick to this, or a way to do it that is easy and reliable? Also, could you link to the drum you used??? I would love to make something like this, it seems like it has so many good features going for it. But I think I am just too much of a DIY noob. My other DIY roasters have taught me over and over that one seemingly small issue with a DIY roaster can make the entire thing borderline useless, so there's not a lot of room for getting things "mostly" right. I have an SCTO and a flour sifter heat gun that have both been plagued by issues and don't work well!
@@DavidPx Thanks. I think I see what you mean re. a real drum -- i.e. it's ideal for agitation purposes, but it has to be mounted w/ a motor and you need to create a roast chamber around it. It definitely makes me curious about using Koffee Kosmo's ideas (pot in pot chamber, w/ insulation, includes chaff mgmt, his thoughts on the best volume to use w/ a turbo oven) with your approach for the drum. I doubt the KKTO sized pots are big enough for anything but a small drum though. Is this the drum you got? Apologies if the parts questions are annoying.

Again thanks for seeding the idea, my contribution is using two stainless Bowls with 8 holes drilled for chamber fab. czcams.com/video/CtwPW-ha91Y/video.html

Brilliant I live about 2 miles from Peter and run a SCTO today.

Can you put a video of yours up?
Thank you, very informative!! You should do some more videos, please.
Wow! Amazing video! You seem to really have a knack for teaching. Thank you so so much!
This is what I've been wanting to do.
Would you be able to share the dimensions of your "pot"?

Thanks for posting the concept I now have a rough prototype using two generic stainless bowls. czcams.com/video/tPzzZy-2_TE/video.html

I wish I had thought of using bowls... Soo much simpler than the chamber I made.
Thanks for posting your build! I'm happy to have helped.
