Ron,

Wow, thanks for the amazing drum. It's so strange to
me to go from an inconsistent 1/2 pound of dog-bowl
roasted beans to 2 lbs of a consistent roast!

Since I manage a BBQ store, I was thinking I'd serve
free coffee samples on the weekends. I'm just gonna
brew a pot or 2 and put out some 4/6oz cups. I would
really like to show people that I roasted on a BBQ, so
how do you feel about supplying me with either
business cards or flyers if you have them? Or if you
just sent me a p.o.p. 4x6 or 8x11 I'll just put it in
a plexi stand!

Let me know if you need parts/supplies
traegergrills.com makes a great thermometer for people
to mount in the center of grill hood!

I've had my RK Drum for less than a month and just love it! Just
 minutes ago I also ordered the 50rpm drive motor. Silly thing just
 happened to me today. I was looking at my stash and trying to come up
 with a blend. I had completely forgotten that I have other methods of
 roasting available to me (popper..iRoast..hg/db..sc/to) and was becoming
 frustrated because I was thinking in terms of roasting pounds instead of
 ounces to make the trial blend. Duhhhhhh! I love my RK Drum. I love
 my RK Drum. I love my RK Drum.
 
 Have I mentioned..... I LOVE my RK Drum.

 Hi,
 I whole heartily agree! I bought a motor off of Ron and what a difference it makes. the shipping was super fast and all questions were answered promptly. I am really enjoying BBQ roasting!

It is so nice to be able to roast 4 pounds of greens in around 20 minutes. My wife sells most of my coffee at her work place and they (office) could tell a big difference in the quality of coffee than the previous roaster I had. It really does an excellent job for the money that you invest.

Message:   I just did my first roast in which I kept detailed notes and times. Just wanted to share with the rest of the group.
 
 I'm using 1 pound of "Brazil Cup of Excellence Boa Vista" from SM.
 
 My setup...The grill is an old Coleman Powerhouse 40 (40,000 BTU). I drilled a 15/16" hole in the dome and attached a very accurate thermometer from "New Braunfels Smoker Company." It has a large 3" dial and I can tell the temperature to the exact degree. Here's further details at their website: http://www.nbsmoker.com/accessories3.html I found it at Home Depot for $20 (not cheap but well worth it.) The probe points at an angle directly at the dead center of the drum. I replaced the lower briquette grill with a 10 X 13" stainless steel cookie sheet and placed ceramic grids on top of it. I'm using a standard Charbroil Universal Rotisserie kit (6 RPM) but
 
 Today's weather was nice for roasting; 59 degrees and a light wind. My starting temperature was 480. After inserting the drum my temperature dropped to 400 and recovered to 480 after about 5:30 minutes.
 
 First crack was at 11:28 at 490 degrees. I cut the gas
