Behmor on the way

Definitely. The timing before a cleaning cycle is a must. That stuff smells like the discs they put in urinals in public restrooms and would really screw up a roast.

Found the critical update #3 and it says to slide the whole side panel off after 40 roasts and I'll prbably follow the manual pretty closely as it seems Joe Behm has put some time in researching his roasters.

Without having an old Behmor to compare with, the view of the roasting process is better than I had hoped. Earlier models were reported to be tough to view, but the new chaff collector seems to have addressed the issue.

That is a great view, the old chaff collection tray came up and blocked the view of the beans.
