My deal is basic and functional, if unoriginal. Next roast I'll try cooling the beans tumbling in the drum after the heat is cut off. It's pretty robust - I doubt anything will crack.

The drum, below, in shinier days (in service for 7-8 years) gets a door to expand capacity. It will prevent beans from falling into the grill as they expand; the cone, left side in photo, limits the load to less than the capability of the gas grill; it was originally used with a 1650W tabletop electric.

That is a very spiffy roaster .

Not being a gas grill fan I don't know that much about them. I have this image of the big black rectangle in my head that I have seen a million times over. I really like the size or should I say lack of size your setup is.

It would be great to be able to do the cooling right in place, hope it works.

Not a gas grill man, myself. G'rob. The current 4-burner is my first in 58 years, a gift from Mrs. Moo as a dedicated roaster. Needless to say it has seen plenty of ribs and chicken, too.

The electric diddle (above photo) wasn't too bad but it wasn't hot enough for more than 12-14 ounces without some insulation and, preferably, micro-nuked preheated green beans. I mighta been better with a smaller, lighter weight drum. I used it for years but the gas jobber is more better; I am also blessed with a 250-gal underground propane tank buried out back and a gas outlet at the deck. That gas outlet makes things much less hassle.
