Pre-purchase and going NG! Please review

[Igneous88]

I am brand new to this world of roasting, but super excited to get started.  I've done a ton of reading on this forum and home-barista and would love your input on the list of parts I'm going to order.

I'm planning on going the NG route and have talked with Mr. Li to get the correct stove fittings and orifices. I have already ordered the Variac and phidget 1048 with case.  Actually, I've already downloaded the drivers for it and have messed around in artisan... can't wait!

   48 rpm motor
   Perforated drum
   Replace Analog ET to ET Digital probe
   Extra probe for MET                                 18 USD   For the all digital BT, ET and MET config
   Backup BT                                              18 USD

   IR stove                                                  99 USD   Starting with NG with a 3/8" FIP fitting
    propane orifice just in case I swap            3 USD    Is this $3?

Total                                                     1661 USD



Do I need to get extra bearings? If so, how many do I need to replace them in the machine?  Would I need one or two?
Also, has anyone bought the 2.5 in exhaust tubing from Mr. Li?  If so, what was the price?


Thank you for your input!

Welcome to the World of Huky.  Your list looks good to me.  I think ordering extra stuff is a matter of personal preference.  I've found Mr. Li ships extras very quickly so I only order if I actually need something.  There are two bearings in the Huky; front and back.  If you want an extra motor I'd suggest getting the motor set because from what I've heard it's a chore replacing just a motor.  Let us know when you actually order your Huky.

Can you explain why I may need an extra exhaust bowl?

  You don't.
