Hi all
Had been roasting for close to a year with a Breville BB280 Breadmaker and heat gun with great results. That unit had the heat element removed, a purpose built lid with a nozzle for a heat gun and chaff collector and was run on the dough setting for close to 22 minutes, so ample time to complete a roast.
That unit develops issues with the touchpad, so I bought another used unit, the exact same model.
With this unit, I was able to roast the first batch with no problems. The heating element was still in place, but it supposedly does not go on with the dough cycle.
The second and third batches were a problem, as the BM started beeping, then shut off, around the 15:30 mark and around the start of first crack. Both times, the automatic shut off occurred around the same time.
My question is, is there a thermostat that senses the temperature transmitted through the heating element as too high, thus activating an automatic shut down of the cycle?
I later ran the unit without any beans or heat gun applied, and the cycle went on till the 23 minute mark, then stopped for a couple of minutes before starting again.
The unit is the same as the BBM100 that still sells at the moment.
I am beginning to wonder if the KKTO method with an externally driven motor, and a heat gun for heat may be the way to go, but as I am used to the corretto, I would like to explore the reason behind the BM shutting off.
Thanks for your help.
