I have been meaning to post a pic of my set-up. I figured everyone would get a kick out of my variac.

Wow, you aren't messing around with that variac!

You should read this thread of mine: https://www.hukyforum.com/index.php/topic,346.0.html
Your setup would look just that much better if your phidget was hidden behind your Huky :)

I'm in the middle of redoing my garage. When I do that, I'll be making a bit more of a permanent spot for my roaster. Once I finish that up in a few months, I'll post some pictures of the finished area. It probably won't look too much nicer than what I currently have, but I won't have to move my Huky when doing other projects in my garage. I should also have a permanent vent installed in my wall so I don't have to open my garage door every time I want to roast.

Kody, it's nice to see that my 500T has such a nice place to strut her stuff.

thusband it's the only burner I've used on the huky so I can't compare to any other. Works great! Haven't had any problems.

Very nice Daave! The phidget is no longer hanging. I mounted it under the lip of the table. I will have to take your approach for a cleaner look!

Yea so my father ended up buying me the variac as a surprise gift
Guess he thought bigger was better haha

That's right Susan!

In the meantime, i exchanged the Amprobe TMD-56 for a Phidget 1048 :)

It looks like that table is the right height for sitting but maybe low for standing. 
Do you sit or stand while you roast?

I wish my set-up was indoors. It can get pretty hot in my garage.
One day I'll have a roast house like johnny4lsu :)

Hi,
in fact i either stand or sit while roasting. You see the littler stool underneath the table? ;)
For me the table could be a bit higher as i'm rather tall myself. But this is just a workaround. I'm planning to install a work disk :)

I use an old drafting table which turns out to be a great height for standing at; and a bar stool works for perching on for some of the time....

Here's mine in the basement. Gas tank outside the door. The 2 1/2" vac hose I was using failed after about 100 roasts. You can see I'm now using a 3" aluminum flexible dryer hose that I just crushed to fit. I took these pics after doing 3 one pound roasts of that El Salvador that Bohdi Leaf recently had on sale. I use the Roastmaster app on my iPad but as I was done for the day, the ipad is upstairs. I feel like I'm finally beginning to understand how to use the solid drum.

It took me a while but I finally realized they're upside down.  ;D

Nice setup none the less.

This is my 2.0 setup! Can't wait for 3.0!!! I have a lot of dreams of how to improve my setup! I also love seeing all your setups! Make more ideas arise in my head!

This is the best forum on the internet!!! I love that it's smaller but so alive!!!

Here's my new roasting setup. I just built this new workbench with a nook for my Huky. I used my trusty hole saw set to cut out a hole for the exhaust duct (I installed a new vent on the garage wall so the duct can be permanently installed now), a grommet for the cables, and another grommet for the propane tube. I purchased an Intel NUC PC (Running Windows 7) + wireless keyboard/mouse that will be mainly used for Artisan.

I like it because all the messy stuff is hidden below the workbench and I don't have cables and clutter everywhere.

That is very impressive. Beautiful even. Wish it was in my house.
