Seems like coffee beans are usually roasted enclosed but I'm not sure.

being in NM we go through a LOT of chilie... 2 sacks a year which I have roasted... but I have a garden and have been growing some the past few years... the more I grow the more flippin them on the BBQ gets to be a pain..

this thing works pretty good.... put the back burner and 2 of the regular one on and let it go...

I got some HOT stuff this year...

I've welded galvanized stuff before and the fumes are horrid.

I just thought about it... and was worried about safety issues.

Might want to check into it.

The nasty galvanize fumes will be released at around 900 degrees. I don't have this in writing but Ive heard it from 2 different sources. The reason I know this: I'm very active on a BBQ forum and someone was building a cheap smoker using a galv garbage can. Research was done and the 900* flash point was learned.

All that being said, the guy didn't build the trash can smoker. Galv is some nasty stuff. Be on the safe side; stay away from it when using heat and/or food.

JMCFAN, if you find that the screen is galv plated, have some milk handy when using it. Milk is the antidote to galv poisoning. No kidding.
