I would say to look on Ebay ($10 bucks) for Melitta Aromaroast roaster
(which is pretty much a poor excuse for a roaster) and, using the tin can
method for a chimney on the WB, place the Aromaroast chaff collector on top.
I have not tried this, but I see no reason why it should not work.  I do
know that it fits neatly on that size can, as I used a can with my
Aromaroast a while back.

Ed Needham

This is an interesting idea.  I have the Aromaroast chaff collector 
(it wasn't destroyed in the fire).  I'll give this a try later this 
week and report back.

Won't work.  The Aromaroast chimney is too small, about the size of a Cambell's soup can.  The Poppery and the Popcorn Pumper have a 14 oz. vegetable sized chimney, which won't fit into the Aromaroast chaff collector.  What you need is a glass chimney for an oil lamp that has a smaller top and bigger bottom.  I've not done this though as these chimneys seem to be way thin and fragile.  I haven't found a Dietz lantern globe that will work in this fashion, either, like the one I use on the Poppery as a roast chamber.

Hmmm...not being a 'popper' person, I just 'assumed' the can was the same
size can as what I used on the Aromaroast, which was a Campbell's soup can.
Once again...'assume' takes on a bad name.

No sweat, Ed.  Try a popper once, you might like it!! :-)

I use a Poppery (mkI) with a piece of aluminum flashing rolled into a tube
and pop-riveted. I cut a slit to clear the rear vane in the upper part of
the roasting chamber.  My Melitta AromaRoast chaff collector slips snugly
over this tube.  A coat hanger handle and a hole for a Weber thermometer,
with wire to hold thermometer in place, completes it.  The glass chimmney
would be nice, but I'm often clumsy and glass items don't seem to last too
long when I use them around concrete garage floors :^)

So am I to assume the tube is tapered, larger at the bottom and smaller at the top?  There is about a 1/2" diameter difference between the roasting chamber and the I.D. of the chaff filter, IIRC.

I've made a chaff collector from wire mesh screening which worked quite 
well. I used it over a can in the Pumper. It was sort of shaped like a 
mushroom with a flattened top, so that the chaff would drop into the 
"pockets" along the edge.
Since using my window fan exhaust system, I no longer have need for a chaff 
collector. It all flies out the window to the yard below....

That could be - all I recall it was very simple to make, no measuring, just
cut & roll up till it fits both popper and chaff collector, put some tape
around it to hold it, mark it in 2 spots, drill it and pop-rivet it.  Slit
it for chamber vane protrusion. (Optional)Hole for thermometer.  (Optional)
Holes for home made butterfly throttle valve for airflow control for
Wisconsin winter roasting.  That and setting the Poppery in a metal washtub
for some warm air recirculation for when it really gets chilly.  (Alas, it
won't be long now I'm afraid...)

I don't want to spill the beans quite yet, but suffice it to say, I was
checking up on progress at a local machine shop today on parts for a
particular gizmo I'll share about in detail later...
Soon, three ounce roasts and customer service will, (hopefully) be a thing
of the past.

I'm told the Dietz Lil'Wizard globe fits on a WB1. It's 2-3/4" bottom,
3-1/4" top diameter.
Another message stated that the Aromaroast chaff collector is about 1/2"
narrower than the WB base diameter, I found a Dietz lantern globe that looks
like it might work....
The globe for Dietz Junior and Victor lanterns has the same bottom diameter
(2-3/4") as the Lil'Wizard globe, and a smaller top diameter (2-5/16") so it
should fit the WB Poppery, and MIGHT be close enough to fit the Aromaroast
chaff collector. Does that sound like it might work?

What material do you use to fabricate this device John? I'm not exactly sure
what aluminum flashing is, or where to look at Home Depot.
Do you attach it to an unmodified Poppery I with case intact?
Lee B.

Ed,
can I have one, can I huh, can I?
John - looking for a better cup

Flashing would be near roofing materials, for this sort of thing the
uncoated plain aluminum type would be best as the coatings on the colored
ones would probably melt or at least smell.

Yes, it won't be long.  My outdoor roasting days are coming to a quick end.  I have a nice basement setup with a 6" muffin fan mounted to a small board (cutout to clear the airflow from the fan) that I mount in a window.  Attached to the fan is 4" vinyl dryer duct.  The black 4"/5" plastic drain tile couplers fit into this hose and make a nice "nozzle" which I place window screen inside to filter any chaff out.  I can then place the nozzle anywhere I want and get 90% of the smoke.  Works great.
Somehow I don't think anything short of a fusion powered roaster would handle a few feet of snow and 10 below zero no matter what you do to it...

Definitely worth a try.  However, even the Little Wizzard globe top would fit the chaff collector (barely) if it wasn't for the holding clips to keep the glass on the roast chamber.  The trick might be to use the chaff collector as the hold down for the whole works (that is: drill holes in the chaff collector to hook the springs into.)  Hmmm, now youz got me thinkin'...
