1st crack hit at 15:50 minutes.. 50 seconds of a pause & beans went
into a slow start of a rolling second crack /......Time 19:30 (complete)
dumped 4 lbs (3&1/3 lbs Roasted) into a good 12+ seconds of a 2nd crack
(Rolling) and slammed the brakes on 2nd crack when the beans hit my cooling
fan.... let see if someone could do that with a roaster under $750.00.....Excellent+ Roaster you got there Shane!
Just did my first two roasts using your profiles. The results are beautiful!
Thanks for a great product!!

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
