Re: Behmor on the way
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...

Re: 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...

Re: Behmor on the way
Speaking of metal construction, me being me and all;
I took apart the back to have a look and noticed a good opportunity for chaff to get into areas like the fan impeller. I was bored and it was...

Re: Behmor on the way
The Behmor is a great roaster but definitely has some little quirks to be aware of.
The ONE thing I would NEVER do with this guy is walk away from a roast.
Things start going quick once first...

Re: Behmor on the way
Yeah Rob,
I have been through 4 roasts and had a few challenges, but seem to be getting the hang of it.
The other night, I had an error come up and roaster stop. The cause was the drum not...

Re: Behmor on the way
I tried openeing the door at cooldown and noticed it sure makes the chaff fly.
After my 3rd roast, it seems like P2 is working best for me.

Re: Behmor on the way
I guess P1 is fine for now. After all, the SCCO and drum on the grill roasters, as well as all the heat gun/dog bowl guys as well as the Poppery crowd all seem to do quite nicely without all these...

Re: Behmor on the way
Again, great info.
The Kill A Watt turned out to be a great purchase. I found most outlets to be around 120v but better in the garage, up to 125.
What do you set your small batches on as far...

Re: Behmor on the way
Much better on the 2nd roast. Adjusted to 12 ozs and p3 at B seemed to do the trick and it went into cool mode just after 1st crack ended, although I added 30 seconds to the roast time to get it to...

Re: Behmor on the way
First roast was a disaster. 14 oz, set at 1 lb, p3, on C and seemed like 1st and second crack almost ran together and had a ton of smoke, alarms off, and smoke detector going crazy.
I guess I...

Re: Behmor on the way
Thanks for that Raisin.
Both the KAW and Behmor should arrive tommorow, according to tracking and that made the process easier to grasp.
I explained to my wife I will be roasting all her coffee...

Re: Behmor on the way
Ok gents. I took your sage advice and found and bought a Kill A Watt off Ebay.
Seems fairly straight forward, but do you just plug the roaster in and check the wattage in different outlets as...

Sorry Rob, can't point you to the Hottop fires but did read a few reports on Coffeegeek about them as well as somewhere else.
I'll have more time after the busy President's day weekend to research...

Re: Behmor on the way
Point taken. I roast on my patio so I doubt I'll burn too much, but have read horror stories about fires, including many from Hottop owners.
I normally fire up a cigar, sit outside, and enjoy the...

Re: Behmor on the way
You're right Rob, I mistook the B for the P model, so my price was a bit off.
In any event, hopefully the Behmor won't dissapoint, which I don't think it will.
From what I can tell, adjusting...

Behmor on the way
Well, after much thought, I decided to give the Behmor 1600 a try.
Most of the "limitations" I read about aren't an issue at the moment for me and the other, like limited visibility to the...
