I received my Huky (SN 1024) about three weeks ago and have been meaning to post a picture of my setup . . . but I've been roasting coffee instead!  The first day, I roasted 17 one-pound batches with an additional 10 lbs in two more sessions since then.  As a novice, I thought it best to do a bunch up front to get familiar with the roaster  (better than roasting only 1 lb a week for the next 5 months).  I have found no shortage of willing recipients for my coffee -- colleagues, neighbors, teach appreciation gifts, etc.  Already had 2 people ask me about buying it! 

Thank you to everyone at this forum for the knowledge sharing!

I understand that you need the little sandwiches we can see on the right side of your cart, then :p

You caught that sandwich :D .  I guess the one thing that is missing in the picture is a cup of coffee!

Sorry the original picture isn't oriented correctly.  I'll try again so people don't have to turn their heads sideways.

I recently made some modifications to my setup :)
The gas stove and the (new 12V) fan are now automated utilizing an Arduino and controlled via Artisan  8)

That's what i did :)
You see that little stepper motor infront of the IR stove? It's connected to the hub of the gas gauge and controlled via the Arduino.

Perfection Joey, beautiful setup!
My Huky T arrived last week, and I'm still arranging the pieces left, right and center to see which (permanent, indoor) arrangement would be most ergonomic and logical in relation to the positioning of the table and exhaust hole (in the wall towards outside).  Bearing in mind I'm left-handed, I notice that most Hukies have the T-pipe facing left:  mine will be facing starboard.  The Variac, computer and (for now) Center thermometer however, will be positioned at the left.
I expect to have my setup finished within a week or so, and by that time I'll try to find out how to post those beautiful pictures you've so generously shared!
Greetings,
Paul

Gas line in, and exhaust out, are cemented through the wall, in a manner that they are "permanent".

And, finally, 8 kilos of Antargaz propane power in a fiberglass bottle, set between the bushes outside the house.

Nice job. 

You might want to consider adding a gas shut off where you can reach it without running out the door and around to the back of the building in case of any emergency.  I turn the gas off both at the stove and at the tank after every session -- belt and suspenders  ;)
