Items tagged with 4LB DRUM

Got the new clip, and pop riveted it on. Must have taken me all of 2 minutes!
Just completed roasting 20 pounds of various beans, and I LOVE the new clip!!!!
No more fiddling around with the pin, just pop it out, flip the clip, dump the beans, and on to the next batch.
As you mentioned in your review, a bit less noise, and much faster turnaround times between roasts.
Still regret not going with the 6 pound drum.

Best Wishes,

Every once in a while, the blind hog finds an acorn. Such was the case when Ron Kyle offered one of his RK Drums as a "Tradition" gift on the Sweet Maria's Homeroast mailing list. The Traditions are one-string-attached gifts where the giver offers some item(s) free including free delivery. Usually there is random choice involved in selection of the recipient. The only "string" is that the recipient is obligated to offer a Tradition of his own.

In Ron Kyle's tradition, he offered one of his custom-made RK Drums for coffee roasting. I WON! All I had to do was add my own gas grill and rotisserie. Ron sold these drums for $210 through his website.

First roast with my RK Drum was 16oz of Rwanda Masaka "Seven Lakes" from Sweet Maria's. I really like this coffee and had

This is a note to let you know I have been having great success with my drum.  Thanks for the effort you put into its design and construction.

 Ron,                            
 
 I received the drum and I am impressed the way you have made it.  People tease me that I over build when I make anything, but there is no substitute for strength and quality.  I can see how the drum will last forever, great work.
 
 I haven't roasted coffee in it yet, but I did the initial burn.  I have a small BBQ, but the heat
 quickly climbed to 500 degrees and then slowly up to the 600-degree range, way more then I had expected or need.  I am looking forward to roasting. Feel free to use my comment on your web site.
 
 Sincerely,
