ABSTRACT:
A bean roasting system (10) is provided for use on a barbecue grill (12). The system includes a housing member (22) generally formed as a cylindrical tubular member, formed from a metallic composition with a mesh or plurality of openings which will allow convective heat to pass within the housing member (22). The system includes a rotational mechanism (36) for rotating the housing member (22) about its longitudinal axis. The rotational mechanism includes a motor mechanism (44) coupled to an axially directed rod (48) which extends through and is coupled to housing member (22) for causing housing member (22) to rotate about its longitudinal axis. First and second bracket members (70 and 72), respectively, releasably coupled to opposing end walls of barbecue grill (12), rotatively support axially directed rod (48) so as to permit housing (22) to rotate over barbecue grill (12). Housing member (22) includes a removable closure mechanism (52) for permitting the addition or removal of coffee beans from housing (22).
