Fantastic, a sound seeing tour of roasting! A friend of mine bought a home roaster and told me a little about it. But I’m wondering what your rig actually looks like. Sounds like I could roast my own pretty inexpensively if I found a poppery somewhere. Thanks for the info and live demo of what goes on while roasting.
