    Re: Roast time

    justintime,.. if you are in the US,.. maybe you can pick up a used Stir Crazy base real cheap and put it together with a Convection Turbo Oven top. Not only will you be able to extend the roast time very easily,.. but you can do larger roasts too. Very simple to put one of these together. Ive just done it,..as Ive been fortunate to score a Stir Crazy base here, which are not sold in Aus. A few more people are working at getting these together.. and there are threads about them here.

      Remys system is great

      Stir Crazy poppers are not expensive? about $30 US

      If you are willing to buy and post one to me in Australia

      Voltage convertors are available to overcome the US 120V power design

        Re: Roast time

        KK, not sure if I mentioned to you about the popper at Innovations. It looks like a Stir Crazy but has been jazzed up a bit on the casing for the kids. It has an 8 minute timer which would have to be dealt with and costs around $69 from memory. Going by the description in the catalogue it sounds like a SC but I am not sure about the 8 min timer.

        I just had another look at it on the website and remember where I got my idea for a straight steel rod for a stirrer.

          To increase the roast time for a popper I made the mods to allow more air flow - I then used a hole saw to make several large holes in the casing then I use a fan which I run on high. This increased time to FC to about 4.15 - 4.30 minutes and I got to 8 minutes before rolling Second Crack. Best of luck.

              As there are no site sponsors selling Stir Crazy poppers and/or Turbo Ovens or various breadmakers what is the difference between me mentioning the retailer of the Crazy Popper and others quoting Jaycar or Dick Smiths for other products, OR the Breville Seconds store? Are we not here to help each other?
