I have a KKTO and it was working well.
The turbo oven heating element part died :-(
There was lots of posts about the using the ovens with a halogen lamp as a heat source.
So I purchased one of these.
To be honest I had lots of problems with getting the beans hot enough to roast well with this.
I had to substantially reduce the batch size to get a reasonable result.
My wife wanted a turbo oven for the caravan.
I purchased a basic one with the conventional metal element.
I wanted to roast some coffee this morning and so I thought I would try the oven with the conventional element
On preheating the KKTO it was at 275 degrees (the halogen element struggled to get to 200 degrees)
It is a lot easier to roast with plenty of heat to spare.
400g of beans took about 12 minutes, with the halogen element it was taking 22 minutes.
However the metal element does have a longer lag and so you need to think more like 5 degrees ahead.
While the light from the halogen element made it easy to observe the beans I found it did not get hot enough to work well.
Do people think I can swap the halogen oven and put it in the caravan?? :-)
