And another checklist to validate…

[Bunkmil]

Hi all,

I’m about to finally pull the trigger and order my Huky setup. Here’s my list of items so far. I’ll be roasting in my garage so I want to make sure that I have everything needed to send the smell/smoke outside.

•   HUKY 500T (Solid drum with 72rpm motor)
•   Digital probes (ET, BT and MET)
•   Infrared stove
•   Exhaust bowl
•   Extra sieve/tray
•   Extra thermocouple (MET)
•   Extra fan
•   Extra funnel

I’ll order a Phidget 1048 with the case and I already have a Variac at home to control the fan speed.

Anything else I should add to my list?

Thanks!

I see a lot of people also ordering an extra fan and an extra funnel.

May I ask what are the pros of having those extras ? I don't mind adding them to my list but I just don't want to order stuff that I won't be using.

Hi there and welcome.

One tray, fan and funnel are used with the exhaust bowl for air flow and expelling smoke.

The other funnel is used when charging with beans.

A second tray and fan are used when dropping and cooling the roasted beans.

Cheers.

A second tray and fan are used when dropping and cooling the roasted beans.

Thanks for the reply!

Then would I also need a second exhaust bowl to vent outside while cooling ? Or can I just swap the bowl once the beans are dropped ?

Nope. 
Your cooling doesn't need any venting.  All you need for cooling is a sieve and a fan.

Nope. 
Your cooling doesn't need any venting.  All you need for cooling is a sieve and a fan.

Ok thanks! That make sense.

I edited my initial list to add the extra fan and extra funnel.

I think I can now proceed!

Oh and I have another question for you.

Does the infrared stove come with a hose and all the proper fittings to connect to a standard BBQ tank ?

[SusanJoM]

Yes and No.
It will come with fittings you can use.
I don't think they are quite safe enough, but they will work.

Do some searching and you will find threads and pictures of better fittings to make the set-up more secure.
