Tom Haigler Just Built his new setup!

Here is a Tom's perfect roast with Colombia Organic Don Telmo Reserve Bourbon - Royal NY.
This was a 2 pound roast.
Temp was between 500 degrees & 525 degrees during the whole roast
first crack was heard at 11:30 into the roast
was hitting first crack consistently at 12:55 not too slow or too fast
16:15 minutes the start of second crack
popping into a FULL second crack (rolling) while I was dumping my beans into the cooling tray.
A good Full City with no oils. Just the way I like my coffee.
