What's roasting home roasters?

floydpink · 12-06-2010, 10:43 AM

With the cooler weather and roasting outside, I have been having a hard time getting full roasts accomplished.

One of the limitations, and there are many, of the Behmor, is you can only add 2 additional minutes onto the preset roast profiles and that isn't allowing second crack to be reached without adjustments.

Some adjustments I have found to work are smaller roast sizes, different roasting times, etc.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Cardboard box with fiberglass insulation (aluminized finish facing in) glued on top, sides and back faces? That oughta keep the heat closer to home for about $3.00. A correcty sized box would probably do the trick alone (it does with a popper); the glass would only protect the cardboard from being overheated.

The last bag, a pound of normally reliable Mayorga yirg from jrcigars, was SOOOOOOOOO bad Mrs. Moo and I almost cound't drink it. I gotta get organizized.
