    Well I think its great, even if the beans do burn the plastic, it serves the plastic right!

      First off - thanks for all the praise - much valued considering all your varied projects.

      re the heat - the beans only generally sit on the aluminium mesh and not the basin (pretty big surface area) - but the basin is rated as boil tolerant plastic so if there was an incidental touch, I doubt it would matter much.

      cheers

      PS - currently eyeing off a vertical chicken rotisserie from Big W - currently on special for $25 - only issue would be the need for either anchoring the free end and flipping it on its side or putting in some form of corkscrew blading in the bean tin.....hmmm the possibility for welding something is very enticing

        Im eying off a small toaster oven with rotissarie for $70. Would need to have a proper chamber made for it - and not sure how to handle the chaff.

          Update on my basin cooler - worked great tonight with no issues with plastic etc even though a few beans did sit around the edges. Also cooled remarkably quickly and extremely quietly.

          Grendel - Re the rotisserie - there is a great thread on this very topic somewhere in here that had Andy and a few others doing exactly this. From memory, one of the drum was hand made using an old coca tin with wire mesh etc. The chaff was allowed to just drop to the floor of the oven and tipped out at the end I think.

          Keen to hear your progress and Ill post mine

          cheers

            Yeah,

            Once I take delivery of the thermocouple it will open up a lot of experimental possibilities.
