Hello Craig,

I have a 25kg roaster here in Indonesia. I only use a chimney and a catcher (cyclone) system at the rear of the roaster. The cyclone basically is a chaff collector and does not reduce the output of smoke from the stack. I am sure that there would be environmental constraints in London, so I can not help you there. Seem to remember reading that the laws are fairly strict on discharge in the UK.
