Coffee-Roaster-2

Here's the third episode of MAKE's podcast, Make: Talk! In each episode, I'll interview one of the makers featured in the magazine.

Our maker this week is Larry Cotton, a long time contributor to Make. Larry's a retired engineer and part-time math teacher who lives in New Bern, N.C., and likes to listen to, write, and play anything musical. I talked to him about his LED Paper Cutter, his Rok-Bak Chair, His Spin the Birdie rotating bird feeder, his Camp Stove Coffee Roaster, and his project in the current issue of MAKE, a sturdy, multi-position iPad stand called the iStand.

And at the beginning of the episode, Make: Online editor-in-chief Gareth Branwyn shares news of some cool things happening on the site.

Hackers prepare for first "national holiday" in their honor

    That camp stove coffee roaster looks like it could be adapted for roasting green chili peppers. I am intrigued.

    How is this an improvement over roasting coffee beans in a cast iron skillet on a grill? I am all for making neat stuff, but this seems grossly overbuilt for such a simple task.

    If you want to roast chilli peppers, buy a Steamer Insert and place both over a gas burner. Google “roast chilli pepper alton brown” for more information.
