I've been going back and forth about whether this is something I want to try at home. Maybe when the weather warms up a bit I'll see about getting some entry level equipment and giving it a shot. This really needs to be done outdoors or with a robust exhaust system right?
I prefer to do it in my garage more for the sound than the smell. I use a cheaper Nesco roaster and with my exhaust fan on my stove on it isnt bad indoors. It really depends on your roaster.
