what would your roaster look like

Aye. I don't find chaff going alight a problem with my heatgun unless the nozzle is VERY close. From looking at it, it does not seem close enough to light chaff that easily, but it still may be a problem seeing as its a rotating drum as opposed to a static saucepan/dogbowl.

I'm not too worried about the chaff as I don't roast indoors anyway. Jim doesn't recall of anyone currently using the unit.

Postage to the UK is EU19.62 which makes it about 150 quid all in.

Are you going for it, Ian?
(Edit: I mean the Röstmeister, nothing else...)

Ideally, I'd like to build my own roaster but I don't have the time at present. 'The boss' has given her approval for the funds but I haven't made a final decision yet.

Man of your expertise must have a hankering for a jumbo BBQ roaster shurely? :wink:

Not sure about that Rostmeister, looks like a fancy hairdryer to me...

So I can't tempt you with a partnership in a combined roastery/hair salon?

Hi,

just some words about the Röstmeister roaster: It seems to be created ONLY to roast the green beans sold by the Röstmeister company itself (called Dieckmann).

Don't know how they make it, but they get the chaff off the green beans. ( That's what I read in german newsgroups. Have seen it in stores, too. Nice & small - but I don't know anybody who has bought it.)

So, using it without fire risk means probably to be kind of depending eternally on this one bean distributor.

IMO it's not really interesting...
