I fresh roast coffee on it using a rotisserie and stainless steel drum.

The weber summit gold a6 is a little over kill but for $100 on CL it is my coffee roaster ;)

Lovin the idea
I'm not much of a coffee nut myself but was wondering and this may seem stupid but could you add smoking wood to the mix?
Would the beans take on any of the smoke flavour?

I have thought the same thought and I am looking at picking up a rotisserie for my kettles and trying it that way.

I may be pulling the trigger in a few days over at the cajun bandit site. If I do I will post picks and let you know.

I'm sure that's true!

Sadly I have had to reduce my coffee consumption to 3 cups/day.  :( I now satisfy that urge with a K-cup brewer.

What temperature do you use to roast coffee? I presume the picture is with the fan cooling off the roast when the coffee is finished.

I know beer is a popular libation associated with grilling and smoking but I'm sure I'd appreciate a cup of your coffee more than a good brew.  ;D

I have an old gasser and thougt of getting one of these roasters. Where do you buy your beans?
Is it cost effective? I'm sure the quality is priceless..  8)

I buy locally for about a third of the cost of starbucks but I do buy 50lbs at a time sweet marias is great place to start for beans in small batchez to figure out what you like.
