Jethro-2 is complete and is just a further mod of the Hillbilly popper mod but I dont consider it a popper mod anymore.
The only parts in common with a popper are two heat elements taken from a couple of poppers and are mounted inside the can. I use two router speed controllers to adjust the heaters separately. I dont believe 1 controller could handle both heaters since it is rated at 15A.
First pic just shows the basic parts minus the heaters.
Next few pics are just different views and with a couple of different bottles.
Last couple of pics show the bottle Im currently using. Red stuff is high temp gasket seal to insulate the glass from the hot metal. I also used it to attach a piece of screen to the bottle.
Ive roasted two small batches so far and both came out pretty well. Ive already started on a modifcation to this rig with a heat element taken from an old heat gun. Should provide even better heat than the two popper elements and require only one controller.
Cheers.
