Well, thanks to both of you. My biggest problem here is that I cannot roast when the Christmas lights are on
I lost power twice before I figured that out. But, I continued with the roast as soon as the roaster would start back up again. The second time, however, I only timed it for a 1/2 lb....why, I don't know. So... my beans never even made it first crack (I did, however). I have them... haven't tried them. But, I have them. There is virtually no aroma and they will probably taste rather grassy. Ah.....me and my roaster haven't quite figured each other out yet. Though, I do feel like I would learn a lot more and get better results on a small batch roaster, as opposed to this home roaster.
