Modding a popcorn roaster does seem to be a popular route!
I guess the Hive is a bit removed from a frying pan in terms of the cover providing heat retention, leading to more roasting by convection as opposed to conduction (the cover is also their apparent smoke elimination/reduction solution), so less chance of scorching.
I don't know what frying pans you have, but my arms would likely fall off if I tried to roast beans with a frying pan for 10 mins or so!
Will hopefully report back on the hipster mini ceramic covered tea leaf roaster/frying pan this weekend!

When you first mentioned home roasting my first (tongue in cheek) thoughts were 'mod a popcorn roaster' or 'frying pan on the hob'...and it seems that the frying pan method has had a hipster makeover!
