Use on stove top. Add about 8 oz of beans at around 400 degrees,
Usually get first crack around 5 minutes, turn off heat, get second crack, and
dump in to screen colander at about 6 or 7 minutes.

23.56 quite reasonable.
THere seems to be many options. If you can keep the beans moving and constant steady temp you are in good shape I am guessing.

These are great and swamper gives a profile as well . Sweet Maria's has these with clear lids for $35 and talks about the SS versions they no longer sell.

Stove top popper

Swamper, I suggest also using a timer and after finding where first crack starts try cutting the heat before it starts. Trying to get 3-5 minutes from start of 1st c to the end of roast (whether this is city of vienna) will give some desirable results.

There are many ways with your setup to profile the roast, if you like I would gladly share my opinions on how to.
