Lucky break, no burned down house

Rule 1. NEVER leave your roaster unattended.

I knew this but ignored it today when I was a few minutes into a 20 minute roast on my Behmor.

I walked inside to answer a Skype and it took me a few minutes to get back to my porch which was completely engulfed in smoke when I did.

I must have inserted the drum wrong because it was not turning and the beans were as charred black as I have ever seen and the chaff was probably close to fire.

Scared some sense into me, and the roaster performed well on a follow up roast that was closely watched.
