I have one for my coffee roaster

Hello, fellow coffee roaster!  Maybe I'll go start a thread in the anything goes channel and we can see who is does or might roast coffee on here.  :)
Not a bad idea, LarryD!  Yeah I have been roasting for about 12 years.  First with a popcorn popper, then a turbo oven, then a Behmor 1600, now an Aillio Bullet.

You can find 3D printed 4" adapters that directly mount to a 120mm computer fan.  They cost about $10.  I have one for my coffee roaster and they work great and are made out of nylon so they can withstand about 400deg.

Here is an example of one....I may try this myself

So I ended up getting this 3D printed adapter, and also purchased this 120mm muffin fan with variable speed controller.  It mounted perfectly and is currently running my first batch of jerky.  Will see how it turns out in a couple hours.

Great ideas and I appreciate all the ingenuity! FWIW, I did finally order and receive my JJD and I love it! Getting ready to go get some top round for my fifth batch :D
