I never weighed my loads but they fit in a 1 cup measuring cup.
I found on hot days that 1st crack would come in around the 5 -7 minute mark with 2nd crack only a couple of minutes later in most cases.
In cold weather 1st crack came at around the 6-8 minute mark with 2nd crack 2 - 3 minutes after.
Be careful not to attempt to lengthen the period between 1st and 2nd as you can stall the roast causing it to bake instead.
The 19 minutes you experienced in my opinion is too long but the taste will tell the story
