Hi all
i do the heatgun thing (twice a week) (i tried the prima popcorn thing and it burnt out and the roast is too fast anyway)
the heatgun thing is very do-able (although you may find it tedious)
you get a stainless bowl - people talk about dogbowls but i like one with high sides the one i use is about 12" diameter and 10" high
stick in your green beans and hve the gun about 6" away and CONSTANTLY stir, use a balloon whisk
you will get a first crack after 8 mins or so (this sounds like a soft pop)
keep going - at about 12mins you will get a second crack (this is a sharp crack) and some smoke
when you are getting a constant cracking dump the beans into a colander and cool as fast as possible (if you keep emptying them between two colanders or bowls it will do the job)
store in a sealed jar and rest for two-three days (they emit carbon dioxide and will taste sour until rested)
Do this outside as it stinks and there are silverskins everywhere

The alternative is to buy a roaster for 500quid that will probably break Alpenrost or Hearthware i-roast
It seems like work, but the results are well worth it for an affiecianado (or foodie types)
I do this twice a week and have the best freshest coffee around Its worth it for me,
regards
