Your videos are greatly appreciated. I'm waiting for Aillio's to come back in to Sweet Maria's so everything that you put out is just what I need at this point.
Thanks!
Good job man keep up the good work , always, onward and upward !
Excellent information and video :)
Thanks for your latest video and comments/criticisms about the Aillio. I continue to watch the SM page in hopes that the latest batch will soon be ready to ship and that I might be able to get one for my roasting needs. Like you, I have a concern about keeping spares available for parts that might break at the worst possible time, but I have been assured by the effort SM is making to keep some items available if needed. I will be interested to see how the IBTS affects roasting profiles and expect some changes in regards to making adjustments during the roast. I will keep you advised about my views after getting some experience in that regard. Please keep up the good videos. Your efforts are very much appreciated.
Thanks, Gordon. I look forward to hearing about your experiences. Take care!
There are not many videos out there on the Bullet. I watched your content 6 months ago and now as I bought an upgrade kit I watched it all again and scoured all the comments. Please do make more, I'd particularly like info on the direrences between the 2 temperature sensors and which one you use and why. Also a walkthrough roast on 1kg of beans would be great. Thank you for the videos you have posted already, they are a great resource that I will be watching again as I develop my skill set.
Thanks! I'm hoping for things to align right so I can get into the routine of making more videos on a regular basis. Things have been a juggling act this year, as it has been for many of us out there.
Thanks for your thoughts on the IBTS. I have the newer Bullet with the IBTS. I am experimenting and learning and thoroughly enjoying that process. Are you planning on upgrading?
Yes. Although it's probably not a necessity, more precise measurements cannot be anything but useful. I'll have to save up a bit before ordering it; but after I've taken care of financial obligations which are taking priority, I'll be sure to put in an order. That's one thing I can say about Aillio: They're truly being innovative and approaching roasting as no one else out there is. Pretty exciting!
Thanks for the videos. What size ventilation hose is that you used? I ordered the roaster and want to start working on creating a ventilation system in my garage ahead of time. Thanks
You're welcome, and thanks for watching!
I've got a nice, sturdy but flexible, aluminum pipe which was designed for venting clothes dryers. This is connected to an outlet pipe which has a flap hanging down -- also aluminum and designed for a clothes dryer. They're about four inches in diameter.
This is not as Aillio recommends it, but I've tried to tailor my venting system to address all of their concerns -- e.g., allowing smoke to leave the roaster without the wind outside being able to blow air back into, which would cause all sorts of havoc in your roaster's environment.
The covered flap outside is hanging open just enough to allow a nice airflow and should also cut down on any breeze which might try to flow back through the exhaust.
Of course, I've got thermal tape connecting these two pipes. Just don't be shy about breaking down your exhaust system periodically to give it a good cleaning. Where I used to work, we eventually ended up hiring a chimney sweep service so that we could keep up with the maintenance. Obviously, you won't be roasting that amount of coffee, but it's something that's vital to keep up with still.
As with fireplaces, roasters can easily catch fire. Be prepared for what to do should you have one. For instance, what if you've reached first crack and you power shuts down? Now your beans are going exothermic and will catch fire in your drum unless you do something?
Just something to think about.
Thanks again, Darrin! I hope you enjoy your roaster!
@@RubesGoodBrainCoffee Thank you soo much for the taking the time giving a great detailed response. I'm thinking of placing a T off pipe off of my water heater exhaust. A few inches from where it escapes into the roof vent. Might insert a electric fan to be on the safe side. Good tip about safety. I will make sure and put an extinguisher nearby just in case.
