Behmor on the way

[raisin]

I believe if you go to the Behmor website they list cleaning that fan as a critical update to the paper manual, but bi-annualy would probably be overkill.

I also avoid the simple green because the scent lingers and taints the coffee, if you must use that stuff, time it before a cleaning cycle so as to burn off as much chemicals as possible!

Spend some time searching over at CG, or at Barista, there are some modding threads that have pics of the interior with explanations of what most of the stuff does, if that kinds stuff appeals to your tinkering affliction...

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 and it says to slide the whole side panel off after 40 roasts and I'll prbably follow the manual pretty closely as it seems Joe Behm has put some time in researching his roasters.

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 addressed the issue.

That is a great view, the old chaff collection tray came up and blocked the view of the beans.
