Storage Tins

Pete, are you talking about the Hottop "P"? I highly suggest the "B' over the "P". I fell into the same allure the P gave but in reality the B is more controllable.

I would look into building a BBQ roaster because of the climate you live in, amount that can be roasted, and heat control. If I can figure out a way to add a bean mass probe to the drum I will be building one for myself for those big roasting times.

Shinning metel and burning yourself on it, ah, good old ABS plastic sure is cool to touch and a dirty sponge cleans messes off.

Sweet Maria tins rule, I like the way they look on the countertop.

I roasted three pounds by BBQ last Sunday and find it quick, easy and somewhat controllable. I LOVE the BBQ roaster but... but... but...

It isn't particularly good for espresso blends, though. It isn't bad but, for espresso roasting I am leaning to favor the SCCO. I feel a new thread coming on.

Anxiously waiting to read it as espresso blends seem to be half of what I roast at this point.

Yeah Moo...get the Thread up. I got a TO being delivered today, and a Salton Popper coming next week. So I'm still gathering parts. So an all inclusive thread for SC/CO-UFO/TO would be awesome.

I have been thinking through adding an exhaust fan and adding to the interior to keep heat closer to the beans. I want more control out of a BBQ setup then I have seen but I won't be getting rid of the Hottop for the full ability to control the roast for the $40+ green beans and the greenies for espresso.

Will this be strictly for you wrencher's or will you include those of us that just throw money at the solutions?
