    Haven't fallen down the roasting rabbit hole yet. Have contemplated but would prefer to use the oven or stove top but heard mixed things about doing that. Plus I have three local roasters right by me.

    If you try PLEASE DO NOT use the oven or stove unless you love smoke. I use an old bread to agitate the beans and heatgun for providing the heat.

    Good to know that's one thing I hadn't heard about the oven or stove.

    A cheap way to start is to use a hot air popcorn popper. If my early experience is anything to go by, you WILL burn the thing out in time, but it's a pretty easy to give roasting a shot to see if it's for you. The smoke warning still applies though, so try it outside if you can.

    EDIT: loads of info here: DIY Roasters and Modifications | Sweet Maria's Coffee Library

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.

    Was just looking at that website last night Cangooner. Your right loads of information on there. Maybe once I get through Christmas for the kids I will buy a cheap setup to try. Definitely interested.
