RK Motor/Coupler

  Just did my first two roasts using your profiles. The results are beautiful!
 Thanks for a great product!!

I have been roasting for 3 years as a hobby and many of my family members and friends have suggested that I should start to sell my coffee. Within the second year of sales, my first roaster could not keep up with the overwhelming demand of Tom’s Best Coffee. I have since upgraded to the premium RK Drum Roaster, which allows me to produce my product more efficiently. My customers can tell a big difference in the quality of my roast. I not only recommend this roaster but I give a A+ to Shane for his customer service.

Hello Ron,
 
 I can't tell you how pleased I am with the new drum/motor combo you sent me. Installation took about 45 minutes and after that I was up and running. I've got the Charbroil Quickset grill (35k) and installed the big thermometer from Home Depot.
 
 My grill seems to like 480 degrees so here's what I've been doing:
 
 Preheat to 500 degrees
 
 Put 1 lb beans in the drum while

 We've just received our roaster.... THANX .... very impressive service and
 product!!!!!!!! will recommend you anytime!!

Message:   I just did my first roast in which I kept detailed notes and times. Just wanted to share with the rest of the group.
 
 I'm using 1 pound of "Brazil Cup of Excellence Boa Vista" from SM.
 
 My setup...The grill is an old Coleman Powerhouse 40 (40,000 BTU). I drilled a 15/16" hole in the dome and attached a very accurate thermometer from "New Braunfels Smoker Company." It has a large 3" dial and I can tell the temperature to the exact degree. Here's further details at their website: http://www.nbsmoker.com/accessories3.html I found it at Home Depot for $20 (not cheap but well worth it.) The probe points at an angle directly at the dead center of the drum. I replaced the lower briquette grill with a 10 X 13" stainless steel cookie sheet and placed ceramic grids on top of it. I'm using a standard Charbroil Universal Rotisserie kit (6 RPM) but
 
 Today's weather was nice for roasting; 59 degrees and a light wind. My starting temperature was 480. After inserting the drum my temperature dropped to 400 and recovered to 480 after about 5:30 minutes.
 
 First crack was at 11:28 at 490 degrees. I cut the gas
