Keith,
It's not steam, but smoke. Heavy smoke. Now I use a 3" corrugated hose (the
type used for clothes dryer exhaust) through a hole in a wood panel set in
the kitchen window. The smoke has attracted neighbors who come over to check
out what I'm doing. :-)
I can attest to the volume of smoke produced during the roasting of
coffee beans. I roasted beans in very small quantities, and I still
had to keep the garage door open for anything more than a single
batch -- even during the Colorado winters.
