After the old forum software breaking in a way that we were unable to fix, we've migrated the site to a new platform.
Some elements aren't working as we'd hoped - some avatars didn't survive the transition, and we're still having issues with attachments that weren't added as inline images, but we're hoping to have that all sorted out soon.
KK suggested I start a thread of my DIY KKTO build.
Today I won my bid for a set of pots on eBay, so the first major hurdle is covered for just $30.
So next I'm popping up to Homart later today to pick up a TO for $40.
All that remains:
[li]motor[/li]
[li]driveshaft, 12v power supply and fabricate an agitator[/li]
[li]Build a base[/li]
[li]Silicone tubing for the top of the pots to create a seal for the TO[/li]
[li]Fire blanket for insulation[/li]
[li]Need to find a cheap/free vacuum, food-grade bucket, cheap sieve and extra tubing to build a cooler.[/li]
[li]USB Multimeter - this will be the last on the list[/li]
[li]Cheap oven mits and scales[/li]
I've got a desk sitting in the garage and an old PC that I can use for roast monitoring. But the USB Multimeter will have to wait - I'll just go by MKI eyeballs & ears until I can afford the multimeter. I'm probably not quite ready to get into roast profiling just yet anyway.
The pots I'll pick up during the week (Unless anyone is going to be near Samsonvale or Keperra and can pick 'em up for me. I should be in Brisvegas to deal with the Bezzera Pressure Gauge issue later this week anyway.) but the build will start approximately mid December when my clients start to go on holidays.
Looking forward to this project!!
