using grill for roasting and cooking

Grills, BBQs & Ovens

Hi,

I hope the forum is still alive. I’ve been pestering CoffeeGeeks and alt.coffee denizens too much lately in my vacillating quest for a large-capacity roaster.

I’m >< close to buying a new grill and drum. Are there any problems with using a grill for both cooking meat and for roasting coffee? If I leave the grill at a very high temperature for a few minutes, will it burn off the fat residue or such that might impact the roast quality? Or do I need to really scrub the grill clean before roasting coffee?

I live in a colder climate (Illinois), so I can’t just buy two $100 grills. I’d like to buy one $200 grill with 42k BTU burners and use it for cooking and roasting coffee.

Thanks,

-Paul

I have swveral customers that do use their grill for both cooking and roasting and say that there is no transfer of flavors.

I personaly have no experience in this area, I do prefer a dedicated grill for roasting, if for no other reason, not have to tear down my grill and set it up for each session.
