Ive been skimming through several (hundred... 
) previous threads about roasting and Correttos for the past few days and purchased an old Breville BB400 bread maker from Cash Convertors and a QM-1320 DMM from Jaycar today. Although surfing thru the threads is informative, it is also very time consuming if you have to perform a search on every step along the Corretto way and then sift thru each topics numerous responses. I havent come across one topic that just provides a BASIC overview of the ENTIRE process from start to finish (gun placement, probe placement, fan placement, first crack, second crack, approx. temperatures, how to cool, when to bag, etc). There was a sticky entitled "A beginners guide to roasting using a popper" that provided an excellent summary of what is required when using a popcorn popper, can someone recommend a similar thread with respect to a Corretto? Once a beginner has gone thru the procedure following a simple prescriptive approach, then its much easier to go back and perform a search on individual topics and zero in on a specific question or questions.
PS. I live in a unit and space is at a premium. I will be roasting on our outside deck and dont have space for a large table with room for garbage bins with exhaust fans for cooling, etc. Hopefully a couple of metal colanders will be equally effective? PPS. My DMM came with a temperature sensor but it isnt a needle like probe, more like a piece of string with a little black piece of tape on the end. Just drop it down from the top and insert thru a hole drilled in side of bread basket?
