Mine is 47" x 23" x 34" (W x D x H)

Yours look like a very good setup, congrats. Are you going to install a vent to the outside?

You're talking to me? 
ATM i put the flex tube outside that window while roasting. But as there is a flue in the neighboring room, i plan to connect the tube to that flue soon.

Thanks - I don't have my Huky yet but your setup is similar to what i have in mind.  My workspace is 48 x 20 (W x D) so I think I can make it work without changing it.

I think with 20" deep you might need to have the roaster in a diagonal position so you can have space for the cooling tray.

You may very well be right.  I'll have to wait until i can actually place it on the surface before I make any decisions.  I'm using a piece of MDF mounted to shelf brackets so would be easy enough to make 4" deeper if needed.

Sorry - yes - I was talking to you 

In my case I installed a fixed dryer vent to the outside and taped/clamped everything. Happy so far.

Mine is also 20" in depth. This works but a few inches more would sure be nice.
The Huky sits diagonal on it and there's enough space to dump and cool the beans infront of it.

Hi guys.

This was my setup for the first 3 roasts. It worked out pretty well.

I made a simple window insert out of 1/4" plywood and installed a 4" dryer vent hood. I retrofitted a 4" to 3" duct reducer onto the fan bowl pipe; I made 4 cuts in the 3" section then started to neck down with pliers then just let the hose clamp do the rest. Due to the 45deg angle of the fan bowl pipe I had to retrofit some "stilts" onto it in order to give it some clearance.

Just saw this on reddit. Like I said there, it looks good, but I'm surprised you're roasting indoors.

Especially after doing back to back roasting for a total of over 50 batches in the last month, I can't imagine doing this anywhere I don't mind making a mess of and with good ventilation.

The mess is kinda easy to clean, now if you don't really love the lovely aroma, THAT will be hard to get rid of...

My setup is in the garage. It smells like coffee 24/7 now.

If by any chance you're not fully happy with your vent bowl legs, I recommend you give this a try: Shepherd Hardware 9442 12-Inch Steel Tri-Dolly

In my case, I've drilled each leg of the dolly and fixed it to the vent bowl legs with cable ties. Works like a charm, really helpful for vaccuum cleaning and chaff removal, as the bowl now is on wheels.

That trolly looks great, is it the 6" or 12"?

Honestly it is going to take me quite a while to get to 50 roasts. That means multiple setup and tear downs and full cleanings. I am always willing to adjust on the fly but at least through the winter months I plan to use this setup.

In the past I roasted outside but that was because the TurboCrazy had no real way to "vent."

[rodraguirre]

oops, it's the 12". Let me edit it.

Finally got everything setup.

brew,

Not sure but for me the picture did not show.

How about now?  I was trying to share from google photos which is proving to be harder and harder to do with a direct link.
