KK Where did you find the pot set? I've been looking for one on and off since last year to get into a KKTO. is there any chance your making them to order again 😉

Yes I have enough parts to make a few more This pot set was supplied by the owner However they come up from time to time on Gumtree and eBay I will post photos of the next build just completed later tonight KK

I'll keep scouring and if I find a set I'll get in the begging line to convince you to build one 🙂

I found the following sieve on E Bay: 1/8 Inch Mesh Classifier sieve for Gold Prospecting, Mining, Panning, was a bit expensive but works really good. .

This second build differs a little cosmetically to Gouly's roaster although the aim is still the same I used a solid piece of Acacial wood ( no glue ) that was formally a chopping board in another life And I manufactured a wire type double agitator blade & more streamlined auto centre metal stays [attachimg=1] [attachimg=2] [attachimg=3] KK

The wire agitator and the self centre lugs [attachimg=1] [attachimg=2]

Nice job as normal KK, the wooden base looks terrific.

Looks great!

Gouly just came over to show off his roast and do a roast while here under my watchful eye Also to show off his cooler and cooling sieve Took a couple of snap shots for the members Fantastic roast Gouly [attachimg=1] [attachimg=2] [attachimg=3] KK

Looks great 🙂 if anyone sees a set of the arcosteel pots for sale please feel free to Let me know 🙂 KK Would any 24cm pasta set work or do they need to be exact specs?

The preferred ones are the Arcosteel set They are made with thicker steel If you chose another set get 240mm dia and be certain that the handles are spot welded not riveted And the insert not to deep KK

I'll keep working on it! They are like hens teeth to me!!!!!

I have purchased a brand new Acosteel pasta 24cm set up from Ebay and look like I have a second hand one. I will pass them onto any-one interested in building a KKTO. I know they are as rare as hens teeth, so I was very lucky to find them. 🙂

Gouly - I'm interested please 🙂 do you mind sending me a pm with cost etc I'm happy with either second hand or new

Great thread, I`m looking at building a KKTO type roaster,I have collected a few bits and pieces so far, How much gap should there be between the bottom of the insert and the pot or false floor ? I have a couple of pots that are different depths and my insert fits them both.

Thanks for the question When calculating the false floor plate depth fitting distance Aim for a roast chamber total volume for both pots and including the Turbo Oven dome of between 7 and 9 litres However in noting the technical aspect of volume one only needs as little as 10 mm distance from the bottom of the perforated insert to the false floor plate KK

Hi Gouly - I've replied to your PMs. 🙂

Excellent build KK! I see many new ideas here to add to my KKTO style roaster. The KKTO design is proven and works very reliably. --Jack

Another build of the altered wood base format KKTO roaster This one is from North Queensland Very happy Owner Builder thus far All the critical drive section parts ( motor, driveshaft, agitator blade ect ) and volume reduction section was sourced from me and all the rest locally TO modded with a thermostat isolation switch and temp probe fitted for profile monitoring Some photos of the completed roaster and what's in the cup KK

Looks like a bought one! :thumb:
