found out how important voltage is for roasting

I had always set up a table for roasting on my outside patio and recently the weather got cold here in Florida terms. 40'a at night.

I had always set my Freshroast plus 8 to the full 8 and had trouble getting into second crack and "cheated" by turning on a couple more minutes before cooling and overfilling the roasting chamber. I'm sure this will fry the machine before its time.

Recently, I moved inside under the range fan and noticed the second crack is achieved in under 8 minutes and the roast is much more even.

I am going to check the voltage on both outlets but suspect the patio outlet is much less than the kitchen.
