Is there a reason why you never mention my products? Did I wrong you somehow?

That is a beautiful lilac wood roasting tube along with that wonderful LB. I make roasting tubes that will fit the LB. You can really use any roasting tube w/ a 19/22mm taper.

Very easy to add the ss heat diffusion disc to previous iHeats. I have also been adding the ss foil lining around the coil for the really old iHeats. Planning for the move over to new FC. The Toasty Top and Heat Island threads will be combined since they both use the same heater cover now...

The size I use most for my 19/22mm roasting tubes is a 2A which is also called H3. It ranges from 11 to 12mm (7/16" to 15/32). I also have a size A or H4 (12 to 13.5mm) for 1/2" & 13mm glass tubes. Smaller sizes work great for getting ss tubes to fit snugly into wood tubes. As a rule of thumb...

Still need to get some things added to my website. Best to just email me at alan@toasty-top.com for requests.

Nice work @Khelek41girl Have you ever tried an adjustable reamer to achieve tight tolerances in the hole through your wood tubes? They are available in many different sizes. I use them all the time to get glass insert tubes to fit inside of my wood tubes since there is quite a bit of variation...

I make tubes that work for the Dynavap tips. They can be with or without a ss liner tube. Here is a koa wood tube w/ 14/20mm end. A high temp silicone sleeve allows the Dynavap tip w/ orings to fit into my 14mm GonG tubes. I also have some 18mm GonG tubes that will accept the Dynavap tips...

@Rastabuddhatao you may not be aware that provisional patents are only good if followed up by a non-provisional patent within one year. If not, they mean absolutely nothing. They only cost around $30, so it isn’t that great of a loss. Did you realize that a ss ribbon with the same dimensions as...

Thanks for posting the photos and video @P.A.M. Glad you were able to get the bulb changed out. The only real challenge is getting the screws started in the holes again. I use a bit of beeswax stuck on the tip of the screwdriver to hold the screw while getting it started. Get all the screws...

I was requested to make a special HI that was intended to be used primarily with a silicone whip. It needed to be be stable so it wouldn't fall over. A conical shape seemed the best to use. Sort of like a volcano. I installed the power socket and heater from the bottom in the same fashion as the...

Recently finished assembling some Insta Heat bases. It is by far the most challenging thing that I make. Some have wondered why the cost on the base unit is more than the top/heater part. Here is a photo of the parts needed to assemble the base unit. Everything must fit within a 1" diameter x 1"...

I have some really nice highly figured walnut blanks that came from 50 year old gun stock cutoffs, but none are large enough to make a full sized toasty top. They are large enough to make one with flat sides that would allow it to lay on its side rather than need a stand. Here is how it turned...

@PPN - Happy to make a 12v power base for your iHeat from wood that you send to me. Nice to not use batteries when near a power outlet. Thanks for the photos and kind words @Crussell27 Glad you have been enjoying your iHeat. Tough to find a piece of lilac large enough to make an iHeat body...

Thanks for posting the photos and kind words @Crussell27 Looks like a lilac wood 14mm to 14mm adapter tube. A great way to use the HI. Happy 4/20 everyone. Stay toasty.

I do remember seeing the laser vaporizer. Wonder how it tastes. Could do something similar with a magnifying lens in the sunlight. I think maximizing the surface area for the oil is the way to go since the temperature can be lower for better flavor. Wonder if there will ever be more progress on...

Thanks for the best wishes @wolf torn Glad to hear your HI has been working well for you. Nice roasting tube @blokenoname Great use for an inexpensive wooden tube. Have been sketching up the various wooden roasting tube options that I offer in order to get my website updated. Will start a...

Haven't closed down the shop. Doing a bit of glass work at the moment. Fusing some 13mm glass tubes to 18mm glass fittings. Have also been sketching up the various wooden roasting tube configurations that I offer. It will be easier to explain the details than using a photo in many cases. Will...

Glad you were able to get the coil back into a uniform spiral shape @P.A.M. Coil shape does make a difference in performance. The photos show how well the Timber Elite is designed and constructed. A truly amazing device. Nice that you have the skills to take it apart and put it back together. If...

Thanks for posting the photos @Shit Snacks Glad you have the DNA mod working well with the iHeat. I do enjoy the 75C board. Happy roasting

You are welcome @PPN Hope you get the ss foil disc cut to the size you like. Dark spots in the middle will be a thing of the past with the ss foil disc. I am still installing the ss foil lining inside the iHeat. It is the same foil I am using for the discs. It does improve the efficiency...
