All the smoke detectors went off as well.

Yes Shane, Got the roaster and beans from Sweet Marias.
Nice, after hearing that I went on their site and bought the sampler.
Shipped out the same day, can't wait.

I did some research on my roaster and it sounds like it is an okay unit. It is decent for indoors, the catalytic convertor is said to work well. The downside is it doesn't cool well. The review I read recommends taking the beans out and using a fan on them in a colonder. They recommend a milder bean because there is a long time in between cracks, maybe too long. Well I will give it all a go and see what happens.
