Hi Ron,
 
 I received the Drum and Motor setup on Thursday, I had
 to make a few adjustments to get it level and in line
 on my Weber grill, took about 10 minutes and then let
 the drum burn in for about 15 minutes.
 
 Today (Saturday) I did two roasts, the first roast was
 a little over done but the second roast came out very
 nice.  Each roast was 1 pound.  It is going to take
 some practice with roast times and getting the drum
 into the grill without losing too much heat and
 getting the beans into the cooling tray but I think
 after 3 or 4 roasts I should have it down. 
 
 The motor is very quiet and I have no problem hearing
 the first crack. 
 
 I am pleased with the drum and motor and look forward
 to many roasts, you have a great product.

 Is totally awesome!  I roasted 2 pounds of coffee this afternoon after receiving your drum.

The first 2 pounds turned out near perfect! You have definitely taken home roasting to a new level.

The quality of your drum was exceptional. I must say the quality was far above what I had expected.

I can now look forward to roasting at home. I had been dreading roasting, because I could only do 1/3 cup batches before with my air roaster. It took me about 8-10 batches to roast enough for the Mrs. and I for the week.

Hi Ron
 I couldn't be more pleased with my drum. I finally got it set up last
 weekend and have only run 5 roasts through it, but I'm already quite
 pleased. You have a great product. Thought I'd send you a picture. you're
 welcome to put it on your website. I went with the brinkmann 45k btu grill
 from walmart. Great grill. It will hold a temp steady with very little
 adjustment. I haven't needed to roast in cold temperatures yet, but I'm
 sure it has the power. I keep it at 500 with the three burners at med-low
 in ~50 degree ambient temps

I echo everyone else's comments on the extremely professional quality of this drum.  Ok, we all agree on that of course, one look and even a fairly non tech/mechanical person such as myself can see that level of quality you ensure.

I usually experience some form of "buyer's remorse" on large purchases, I don't know why, but that's me.  Not so on the RK Drum though! I am so glad I finally bought this!  I thought my SC/TO would be the one and only, (as I roasted my 12oz smugly, thinking of those "other" 3 or 4 oz roasters)

 Roasting coffee with the RK Drum is like "printing money"! The RK Drum paid for itself fast. 

Your customer service, attitude and willingness to answer questions, make suggestions about everything from roasting to buying beans to bags etc. You return civility and customer service to a professional level seldom seen anymore.

You even took time out on your Alaska trip to "talk me down" during a difficult roast. I was using a different motor than the one you offer and you made several suggestions that helped me overcome a problem.

I am sure I will one day get your motor after I tire of  I have now been using the RK Drum for 6 months or so and still getting an even roast with my average of 5 -6 # is now routine for me. Roasting the sometimes fussy Dry Process greens is now a pleasure, the RK Drum tosses the beans

 Ron,
 It's such a pleasure to roast on your equipment! I want to sell my Hot Top but end up recommending your drum to perspective HT buyers. :)
