Cool. I've watched videos, but I haven't yet tried that method. It does appear to be ultra low budget. Since the roast happens so quickly, is it difficult to control roast levels if you want a light roast at the end?
- lostlogin 9y agoIt is very cheap to do. After 10 years I'm on my second heat gun, first colander and 3rd wooden spoon (though the end is burnt right off). If you do it during the day it's easier to control as artificial light seems to make it harder to tell how dark a roast is. Also, the sound is a good clue. First crack means I'm close, so I go a bit easier after that. I've only had a couple that are way off in about 10 years of doing it. I'd estimate that I get it where I want it 80% of the time, not quite right 10% and absolutely perfect 10%. With more effort I have managed better but the extra time didn't justify the effort for me. Bigger roasts seem to average the temperature better so that helps too.
