Roasting profile for 3 to 4 lbs
Roasting larger amounts of greens will
need more heat
-
Preheat grill to 525 degrees
-
Install cool drum and greens, as
quickly as possible to avoid loosing
too much heat
-
The grill temp will drop to about
460
-
I leave the grill alone, let it come
back up to 525 degrees.
-
Try to keep it between 515 and 530
degrees
-
First crack should happen around 14
to 16 min.
-
Second crack should happen at 17 to
18 min.
-
As second starts lower heat to low
and let it coast to finish
-
Be prepared for lots of smoke, and
very hot beans
Remember each grill will perform
differently, and you may have to adjust
your grill accordingly.
City or light full city roast should be
stopped after first crack or a snap or
two into second crack.
You will
have to stop short of your target roast,
15 to 20 seconds, to allow for the time
it takes to stop the motor, raise the
hood, remove the drum, and dump the
beans in a suitable cooling tray. Its
suggested using a fan and a perforated
or screen cooling tray.
I use needle nose pliers to pull the
clip.
CAUSTION
The drum and beans will be hot and can
Cause
burns
Always use
protective gloves that will withstand
500 degrees for 30 sec. or more.
