So fellas....please leave no roaster unattended. Clean out chaff collectors (a popular source for ignition).

And no RUI (roasting under the influence) ever.

Well I have roasted under the influence but those roasts turn out crappy.

Having a CO2 extinguisher is a must for roasting for the just in case situations, it won't ruin your roaster but will save you from a bigger fire.
