In the video I said we were to take this roast to Full City, however that was not correct. I wanted to go City +. City roast is immediately after first crack, City + is between first crack and second crack, Full City is immediately preceding imminent second crack, Full City + is at the first snaps of second crack. Vienna would be close to rolling second crack.

You are way ahead …
You are way ahead of me in sophistication. I am still hand holding the heat gun and roasting by feel. Not always consistant results, though. I will now add a thermocouple.
How did you wire the bread machine to keep the motor running constantly?
That’s a good idea. …
That’s a good idea. Maybe come in about .25 inch from the corner and .5 inch above the stirrer? Let me know how you like it!
Yes indeed. Drill …
Yes indeed. Drill it higher than the stirrer.
My stirrer is stock height.
I’m no superman, I …
I’m no superman, I grabbed the red plyers to pick up the handle, then a small crecent wrench to catch the bottom. You can see both of them on the bench.
Don’t mess with the thermometer, get a thermocouple. I think if there was any rigid protrusion into the beans, lower than the stirring paddle, it would get bent out of shape.
You seem to be able …
You seem to be able to withstand heat more than most of us. No way can I handle my tub bare handed or touch the beans prior to cooling.
Your video has given me an idea. Drill a hole in the side of the BM directly into the tub and place the thermometer into it.
Great job!
