The first few roasts came out good but now that I insulated the pan with a fire blanket and the warmer weather I can't seem to get it right I keep having to turn down the heat gun to keep the temp from going up to fast and i'm get some tipping. I know I've read people got better results after insulating the pan but I think it's hurting my roasts

    Do you have a vent hole in the lid of the bread maker?

      Yes I have a vent hole in the top
      My roasts are coming out good before I insulated the pan

    when I had my Correttto I had a vent in in the lid for venting chaff and inspecting roast progress with a long handled spoon.
    Adjusting heat gun temp as needed I was able to produce a profile repeatedly.

      I recently had this same issue. I was roasting fine until i read some suggestions to try insulating the pan with a fire blanket. I've tried a few roasts with it and haven't been able to keep the heat from rising too quickly and I'm on my heat gun's lowest setting. I'm going to take it off because I figure it's just not right for my set up

        I think you've just increased the thermal efficiency of your setup and are seeing the impacts of that. I do notice your heat gun is very close to the bread maker and you have a funnel connecting the two. Any reason for doing that? You could back off the positioning a it or remove the funnel to allow more heat to escape and therefore slow the rate at which the beans heat up. The bean mass will take on heat as a whole because it is being churned by the paddle. All you really want to do is get the setup in such a way that you can make changes to you heat gun (if you have a variable temp) and control the roast that way.

        I have a blanket around my pan and it works fine.

          I do have a router control to vary the heat in the gun

          Most other setups I have seen on here the heat gun is closer then I have mine mounted

        What size batches are you running with?

          I usually roast about 350 or 400 grams the stainless steel pan I have is a little smaller then the standard bread maker pan.

        Try running a batch or two at 600-650g or, if possible and you want to stick with smallish batch sizes, try running your heatgun at the lower fan speed in order to reduce the amount of thermal energy being pumped into the bread-pan. Either one of these options should work for you...

          I have very similar setup to yours and put a fire blanket on about 40 roasts ago, for no other reason than to insulated for heat retention .beans where good before and i did not notice any change after installing the fire blanket other than consistency no mater what beans i am roasting, as stated before lower your heatgun temp and increase the amount you roast .and i have notice a more even rize by not taking the cover of to look at the beans until first crack.

            My roasts are coming out really good now. I removed the insulation and added an ext to the paddle so the beans are really moving. I think stainless steel pan I have really holds the heat well compared to everyone else who uses the original aluminum pan. Maybe when the weather is cooler I will need to insulate it but in the summer heat I don't need it. Thanks for everyone's suggestions. This Costa Rica tazzaru is amazing

              Out of interest Scracker, where'd you source the pan from? Was it easier enough to pull the breadmaker blade assembly off the original bread pan?

                I have a electric wok that the Teflon was coming off. I ground it all off and polished the aluminium. It's still non stick.
                Maybe a option if not wanting to roast in a Teflon bread pan

                  Ive found a 1/6 gastronorm pan online that looks similar to OPs picture

                    I would rather roast on teflon before bare aluminium...

                    I personally replaced mine with a stainless steel bain marie tub. Found it on amazon. I cut the mechanism off the old pan and riveted it onto the bottom of the new one with the shaft extending through the base

                      It hasn’t been proven not to be true - it just hasn’t been proven to be true consistently. As I said, it might be nothing but the negative health effects of excess aluminium intake are real so I’d personally rather not take the risk ?

                      Association is not causation. There is a difference.

                    I got the pan from a local restaurant supply store by amazon or ebay have them as well
                    it was really easy to drill out the rivets on the old pan and reattch
