Yes — our roasters connect to a standard 20 lb propane tank (the kind used for grills). The tank is not included. Most hardware stores carry them for $30–50.
Both roasters work in batches. The small holds 4–5 lbs of fresh chile at a time, the medium 8–10 — so a 25 lb sack runs about five loads on the small or three on the medium. For a family of four, the small is plenty.
Small: 12" diameter × 16" long barrel, 30 lbs, 4–5 lbs of chile per batch. Ships in a 24" × 19" × 19" box.
Medium: 16" diameter × 16" long barrel, 42 lbs, 8–10 lbs of chile per batch. Ships in a 24" × 25" × 17" box.
Both sit on a tabletop and both roast a batch in 3–5 minutes.
About 3–5 minutes per batch with full propane flow. Keep the cage turning the whole time so the chile chars evenly on all sides.
Every roaster is made to order — we build yours after you buy it. Allow about 2–4 weeks for the build, then 3–7 business days in transit. Smaller roasters go UPS Ground; larger ones may ship freight. We deliver to the lower 48 only, no PO boxes, and we'll send tracking when it's on the way.
Yes — during harvest season (mid-July through October), we ship 25 lb sacks of fresh Hatch green chile straight to your door for roasting. Your chile and your roaster ship separately, each with its own shipping cost.

This is a great roaster. Well made and the perfect size for small batches. This amount of chiles would have taken a few hours on the grill and the roasting would not be very uniform. The medium roaster had them done in a matter of minutes. I would recommend this roaster to anyone looking to get away from the grill.
Now we have wonderful roasted chiles in Kentucky!
Great job folks!

We have ordered other roasters in the past and from other companies but this roaster is by far the best we have received, the quality of the way it is built to the regulator!! We will never go anywhere else!!

High quality product makes the roasting process a breeze. Was able to grille our 25 pound chile box in about 15 minutes vs the 2 or 3 hours it use to take with a regular grill. It is expensive but well worth it. I considered purchasing a cheaper option from amazon but the reviews stated those cheaper roasters did not deliver a high heat flame and left a sooty residue. Not the case with this one, it's basically a table top flame thrower! I highly recommend this made in the USA product!

I was looking for a roaster that would work. I have been using my grill for years but I would lose so much between the grate. I looked at plans to make one but for the cost just could not beat this one. Best thing is it works great!

My medium roaster arrived in perfect condition. I can't wait to try it out when my yearly supply of Sandia's arrive in a couple of months. I order between 25 and 50 pounds every year and have wanted a roaster for a long, long time. It takes me back to the 12 years I lived in Albuquerque when I had my chiles roasted in one of the industrial sized roasters.

It’s been… over 25 years… since I lived in Albuquerque, where I would have my green chiles roasted in an industrial-scale version of your Medium Chile roaster at a grocery store every year. When I saw them in your store this year, there was an audible gasp. I immediately ordered one well just to make sure I’d have and be ready before my chiles arrive. It arrive in great shape and this past week I chanced across 5# bags of serranos at a restaurant supply store, so got one to give my new toy an early “test spin”. It was, in a word, MAGNIFICO! I nearly shed real tears of joy.
This is SO much better than roasting them on a gas grill, as I have been doing all these years. Each pod is much more evenly roasted and the whole batch is much more uniform than one could possibly do on a grill. And more quickly too. There’s more blistering of the skin from intense flame with less “cooking” the flesh. And there’s nothing quite like the unique aroma of chiles blistering under the correct heat. The sight and smell transported me straight back to The Land of Enchantment like I had never left.
My wife was skeptical when I told her I’d bought it, but after seeing it in action and the results with the serranos she can’t wait for our fresh batch of NM chiles to arrive. I might even have to motorize it some day! (But if you come out with a kit for that in the meantime, let me know!!! 😁)
I think a short video on your website would turning seeing into understanding and believing for those who’ve never had the opportunity to get the “full New Mexico” chile roasting experience in person.

No — propane roasters are for outdoor use only. They produce open flame and exhaust. Always operate on a stable, non-flammable surface outdoors.
Heavy gloves for handling the hot cage, long sleeves, eye protection, and a spray bottle of water nearby just in case. Never roast in windy conditions — flames can be carried by wind.
Standard 1-year manufacturer warranty against defects. Tank, hose, and regulator are user-replaceable consumables.
The roaster is designed for chile but the flame works for bell peppers, eggplant, tomatoes — anything where you want flame-roasted skin to slip off easily.
Let it cool fully. Brush out ash and chile skins. Wipe down with a damp cloth (no soap on the inside of the firebox). Store dry. The cage rotates out for easy cleaning.
