. . . a friend who gave me the idea to build one simply covered the
plastic nut/shaft with a copper pipe cap and has had no trouble. Also said
he knows people that just balled up aluminum foil and covered it
successfully.

These were among the recommended mods to the SC ~ 2.5 years ago when I
"assembled" my SC/TO roaster, and I did both -- foil covering a metal
wingnut, both protected by the copper pipe cap. My rig has been going
strong for 2.5 years, roasting an estimated total of ~ 140 lb of green
in that time. No need to replace the plastic shaft yet, but some day .
