Mark, I don't know whether anyone's replied privately, but check out the page on the Chile-heads home site, at http://chileheads.netimages.com/roast_peppers.html It has a picture of a rotary chile roaster, and descriptions of alternative methods. Can't help you with places to purchase one (although if you do hear about a supplier in Oz, I'd love to know).
