 | Made to Last a
Lifetime- All RK Drums carry a Lifetime Warranty.
In over 1000 drums sold, only one has ever had to come back
due to a broken weld. We fixed it for free and shipped
it back home. Should yours ever develop a problem, we
will repair it for you for free! (chain and pin not
included) You buy a drum once, you'll never need
another one. Every drum is built and inspected for
perfection by our craftsmen. One of our customers has
roasted 4,000 roasts, (16,000 pounds of coffee) on the 4Lb
RK. |
| All 304 Stainless
Steel Construction- The entire drum is made of
solid stainless steel, TIG and Plasma welded at our machine
shop. These drums are very sturdy. Compared to
competitors on the net and on Ebay.com who use very thin
brass or aluminum, these drums can literally take a beating.
While our competitors drums can be bent/depressed with as
little as a thumb press, ours can literally be stood on,
dropped, etc with no damage. We estimate around 700
pounds of pressure to crush these drums. So this is
why they will last you a lifetime with reasonable care.
|
| Pays for Itself in
just a few roasts- The RK Drum is very cost
effective. A 4Lb Drum will pay for itself in as little
as 13 roasts. That's only 4 hours of roasting on your
new RK Drum. The 6Lb and 8Lb drums have similar small
return on investments. |
| Larger Volume-
The RK Drum, be it the 4, 6 or 8 Pound, has a much larger
volume than any of your other home roast solutions.
The RK is also great to get your new commercial roasting
operation off the ground. |
| Start a New
Business (Low Cost)- Many new RK Drum
owners use these drums to start their own business. In
a tough economy, this is a great option. The Drum
produces coffee as good as the commercial Diedrich or Ambex,
etc roasters at a mere fraction of the cost. The
average commercial 8Lb Roaster runs $8,000 USD. Our
8Lb Everything Kit includes everything but the grill and can
be had for around $800. This is a much more economical
option for most people. |
If you roast yourself, we
can count your labor as profit. Therefore:
-The 4Lb Drum can roast
96 pounds of coffee in an 8 hour day.
At
an average of $5 profit per pound this is $480 profit a day.
-The 6Lb Drum can roast
144 pounds of coffee in an 8 hour day.
At
an average of $5 profit per pound this is $720 profit a day.
-The 8Lb Drum can roast
192 pounds of coffee in an 8 hour day.
At an average of $5 profit per pound this is $960 profit a day.
| Complete Roast
Control -
With the RK you will have complete control of your burner
temps allowing you to control your entire roast, start to
finish, unlike other electric or computerized home methods
which control the roast for you. |
| No Electronics-
With the RK, there are no electronics that can go bad.
Personally, I used to own a 1/2 pound electric home roaster.
This roaster was made of flimsy plastic and had very little
control over the roast. Heat is the #1 enemy of
electronics, when anything goes bad, you will have to buy a
new roaster. This will be the least of your worries
with the RK. |
| Roasting Assistance-
Never roasted before? No problem! We'll teach
you how! You'll be an expert in about 5 roasts!
After your purchase, for your first roast, we'll walk you
through the entire first roast so that you get the hang of
it quick! Also, there is a roasting tutorial located
here
with a detailed set of instructions on how to get started. |
| Buy From The
Original- Not to toot our own horn, but Ron Kyle
developed the first production drum for home BBQ use on the
market back in 2002. We are the original BBQ roasting drum.
Although Ron has now passed, we still use his machine shop
for construction ensuring that his reputation for quality
lives on. There are over 1000 drums out in the
marketplace being used to roast for friends and family and
for commercial coffee roasting. We have many happy
customers who all attest to the quality of the RK Drum. |
