Thanks JavaB for your assistance with this!
Ok...variable speed Ryobi and elcheapo stainless bowl from Spotlight.
Set up HG on my bottling thingo that I use for home brewing and put on a clamp. Put the HG end about 9-10cm away from 400grams of beans. Put it at 650 degrees C and high fan (high fan and same position for whole roast).
First crack seemed to take a long time - started about 12 mins ended about 15 mins...all going uninform colour. I turned down the gun in the middle of the first crack to 500 degrees and then up to a bit more (about 550) - total for about 1 minute or 2 into second crack (to make sure they were all hot enough for the second) was 30 mins. So about 15 mins for second crack.
The roast looks really good and even, with no signs of burning.
Weight loss was 70 grams.
I am hooked....thanks again.
