Hello All,

What I love about the RK drum is what I think scares most people away.  At first look, an RK drum with a BBQ looks like you have no controls.  The opposite is true!  With a RK drum setup you have total control!  It is the only home roast system that I know of where you have the power and control to roast from 4 oz to 4 pounds of coffee.  Where people get in trouble is not realizing the flexibility of this system of roasting because they don’t go beyond the first look.  After 20 years of homeroasting using every type of roaster from the new commercial home models to roasting over fire with an antique popcorn popper, I think I am qualified to say the RK drum is the best home roaster you can buy for less than $1,500.00.  I have not found a limitation to my RK system yet.  After spending $150.00 on a commercial machine a few years ago, it only took me a month to go back to my $3.00 popcorn popper. 

 The RK drum reminds me of roasting over fire with the popcorn popper except it gets rid of those dimensions that need to be consistent for a good roast every time.  The RK drum moves the beans at a consistent rate.  The RK drum keeps the beans at the right place to receive the heat they need to roast.  The RK drum gives you a way to control the heat.  So, instead of five dimensions to control, the RK takes care of three and leaves the roaster with the two most important dimensions to control, time and temperature.  It lessens the

 Hello, Ron:
 
 Just to let you know that I finally got my cooling stand put together, burned in the drum and did my first roast this evening on the patio. I was concerned about being able to hear the cracks (coming from using an iRoast2 that was an issue for me). I had my wife standing by to make sure I didn't miss the sounds. I needn't have worried. The sounds of First Crack were loud enough to be heard on the other side of the back yard. I backed the temp off a bit and let her coast. The first time trying to control the temperature is kind of like trying to back up an 18-wheeler but we managed just fine. I was going to pull at the first sign of 2nd crack and I overshot a few seconds but oh, well. The cooling stand worked great and for the maiden voyage of my RK Drum, I am very pleased. The rest will come with experience.
 Thank you, Ron. We're off and running. Now if I could only find someplace I could lay my hands on some more of that Brazil Fazenda Ipanema "Dulce" that Tom and Maria had!! A number of my friends just rave about that one and I have only a small amount left. I'll know better next time to lay in a good supply when I find a great bean like that one. Of course, SM has many great beans.

Hi Ron
 I couldn't be more pleased with my drum. I finally got it set up last
 weekend and have only run 5 roasts through it, but I'm already quite
 pleased. You have a great product. Thought I'd send you a picture. you're
 welcome to put it on your website. I went with the brinkmann 45k btu grill
 from walmart. Great grill. It will hold a temp steady with very little
 adjustment. I haven't needed to roast in cold temperatures yet, but I'm
 sure it has the power. I keep it at 500 with the three burners at med-low
 in ~50 degree ambient temps
