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. :)

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.

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 ?
-
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.
